Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The Ear and the rest are well known. We have ‘Eyes’ in the Dual, in view of the two different substrata (of the Visual Organ); in other places we have the singular number in view of the fact that the Faculty itself, subsisting in the said substrata, is one only.
