v2.c40.s8.51

⁸ So in JB. i. 269, where Prāṇa covers smell (as in ÇB. x. 5. 2. 15; BAU. i. 3. 3; CU. i. 2. 2; AU. i. 3. 4; KU. i. 7; ii. 5, &c.), and beside ear, eye, smell, and tongue we find mind which discriminates *suhārdasa* and *durhārdasa*, that pleases and displeases the heart. The distinction of functions of mind into sense-perception and the functions of heart and mind (Barua, *Prebuddh. Ind. Phil.*, p. 178) attributed to Yājñavalkya and Mahidāsa is clearly not found either in the BAU. or AA. As in JB., *l. c.*, mind and heart are related as activity and organ in Buddhism; Rhys Davids, *Buddhist Manual of Psychological Ethics*², pp. lxxxvi f.; Keith, *Buddhist Philosophy*, pp. 87, 196.
