Language: English

c8.s6.t5.4

it is true the Śruti (Muṇḍ. 2, 1, 3) mentions the Manas as well as the Indriyas, but the Smṛiti (Manu 2, 89) enumerates eleven Indriyas, and includes the Manas among them, which is never done with the Prāṇa (p. 730). The difference is also exhibited in the fact that in the quarrel of the gods and demons (Bṛih. 1. 3. Chānd. 1, 2) all except the Prāṇa are overcome (p. 730, 12).
