5.1.9

cakṣur hoccakrāma \
tat saṃvatsaraṃ proṣya paryetyovāca \
katham aśakatarte maj jīvitum iti \
yathāndhā apaśyantaḥ prāṇantaḥ prāṇena vadanto vācā śṛṇvantaḥ śrotreṇa dhyāyanto manasaivam iti \
praviveśa ha cakṣuḥ \\501.9\

The eye departed. Staying a year out, it came back and asked, 'How have you been able to live without me?' 'Just like the blind, though not seeing, yet living with the breath, speaking with the organ of speech, hearing with the ear, and thinking with the mind.' At this the eye entered the body.
