The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c40.s8.136

v2.c40.s8.136

⁵ *CU.* viii. 3. 3. Cf. *BAU.* iv. 4. 22; v. 6; *KU.* ii. 20, &c. In *BAU.* iii. 9. 20 the heart knows colours, doubtless through the mind which is seated there. This is the only possible significance of the contrast between it and the eye which depends on forms while they depend on the heart; there is no distinction between primary and secondary qualities in question. From the connexion of mind with the heart is derived the Theravādin (BSOS. iii. 353) view which places a *hadaya-vatthu* as the organ of mind, evidently the older Buddhist view as opposed to the refinement of the Sarvāstivādin (contrast Stcherbatsky, *The Central Conception of Buddhism*, pp. 17 f.). Heart is placed side by side with mind as concerned with knowledge in *BAU.* ii. 4. 11; iv. 5. 12, i.e. it is the place of intellect.
