65.1
tadeva trayodaśavidhaṃ karaṇaṃ bāhyāntarabhedāddvividhamiti darśayannāha-
Showing that this same thirteenfold instrument is twofold through the division into external and internal, he says:
65.2
antaḥkaraṇaṃ trividhaṃ daśadhā bāhyaṃ trayasya viṣayākhyam /
sāmpratakālaṃ bāhyaṃ trikālamābhyantaraṃ karaṇam //
The internal organ is threefold; the external is tenfold, designated as the object for the triad. / The external has the present time; the internal instrument pertains to the three times.
65.3
'antaḥkaraṇam'; ityādi / karaṇaṃ dvividham- bāhyamābhyantaraṃ ca / tatra śarīrasyāntaḥsthitatvādantaḥkaraṇaṃ trividham- buddhirahaṅkāromanaśceti //
On the words: 'The internal organ' and so forth: the instrument is twofold: external and internal. There, because it resides inside the body, the internal organ is threefold: intellect, ego-maker, and mind.
65.4
'daśadhā bāhyam'; iti / daśaprakāram / pañca buddhīndriyāṇi, pañca karmendiyāṇi / tadbuddhirbhavati //
On the words: 'the external is tenfold': it is of ten varieties: five sense organs of perception and five organs of action. That becomes known.
65.5
tadbāhyaṃ 'trayasya viṣayākhyam'; iti / tryavayavasyāntaḥkaraṇasya bāhyaṃ viṣaya ityākhyāyate, taddvāreṇa viṣayāvagāhanāt / tenāntaḥkaraṇasya dvividho viṣayaḥ- dvāraṃ bhogyaṃ ceti / catuṣṭayasya dṛṣṭervartamāne trayasyādṛṣṭe vṛttiruktā //
That external is 'designated as the object for the triad': for the internal organ composed of three components, the external is designated as the object, because it engages sense objects through its gate. Therefore, the object of the internal organ is twofold: the gate and the object of experience. The function of the fourfold [group] has been declared in the seen [present], and of the triad in the unseen.
65.6
tatrātītānāgatayorapi viṣayayoḥ kiṃ vṛttirasti, netyāha- 'sāmpratakālaṃ bāhyam'; iti / kalyata iti kālaḥ viṣaya evātīto 'nāgato vartamānoścocyate / na tadvyatirekeṇa kālo 'sti / mā bhūt ṣaḍviṃśatitattvaprasaṅga iti / tatra sāmprato vartamānaḥ kālo yasya bāhyasya taddhi bāhyam / śrotrādi vartamānameva śabdādikaṃ prakāśayati, nātītānāgate / vāgādi ca vartamānamevoktyādānaviharaṇotsargānandān karoti, nātītānāgatān //
Does a function exist there with respect to past and future objects as well, or not? He says: 'the external has the present time.' Time is that which is reckoned; the sense object itself, being past, future, and present, is called time. Apart from that, time does not exist, lest the unwanted consequence of a twenty-sixth principle arise. There, that external organ is one whose time is the present, that is, the existing [time]. The ear and the rest illuminate only the present sound and the like, not the past and the future. And speech and the rest perform only present speaking, grasping, walking, excretion, and sexual pleasure, not the past and future.
65.7
'trikālamābhyantaram'; iti / trayaḥ kālā yasya tat trikālam / yathā buddhirvartamānamadhyavasyati / tathātītānāgatāvapi / māndhātāsīt kalkī rājā bhaviṣyatīti / yathāhaṅkāro vartamānamabhimanyate tathātītānāgatāvapi / mamaivamāsīt, mamaivaṃ bhaviṣyatīti / yathā ca mano vartamānaṃ saṅkalpayatīti tathātītānāgatāvapi / tatra kimidaṃ bhūtaṃ syāt, na mameti / kimidaṃ bhaviṣyati, netīti // 33 //
On the words: 'the internal pertains to the three times': that which has three times is pertaining to the three times. As the intellect ascertains the present, so also the past and the future: 'Māndhātṛ existed; Kalkin will be king.' As the ego-maker conceives of the present, so also the past and the future: 'Thus it was mine; thus it will be mine.' And as the mind deliberates on the present, so also the past and the future: there, 'Could this have happened? Not to me,' 'Will this happen? No.'
