saṃśayo 'tha viparyāso niścayaḥ smṛtir eva ca /
svāpa ity ucyate buddher lakṣaṇaṃ vṛttitaḥ pṛthak //
30. And again another definition of Buddhi is given with reference to its states or aspects which are doubt, misapprehension, correct preception, memory and sleep.
Verse 30. विपर्यासं V distinguishes two varieties of misapprehension: one when the attribute of one thing is predicated of a different thing and the second as mistaking one (concrete) thing for another. स्वाप D Absence of knowledge or the unconscious state. 31. All the Indriyas or organs falling under two divisions as those of sense and those of action, are only the products of the Taijasa Ahankara; for Prana who guides the organs of action is endowed with the power of action (and hence Taijasa by nature); and Buddhi having control over the Indriyas is endowed with the power of understanding and hence the Indriyas like Buddhi are also the product of the Taijasa Ahankara.
