Out of the Taijasa Ahankara undergoing modification were evolved the ten organs (the five sense-organs and the five organs of physical action). The power of cognising is Buddhi and that of doing is Prana; hence the organs which are the special arrangements for the exercise of these two powers are evolved out of Taijasa Ahankara; and these are the ear (hearing), the skin (touch), the nose (smell), the eye (seeing), the tongue (taste), speech, the hand, the organ of generation, feet and the anus. > — S.
