³ Jaḍatvarāhityam. Deussen defines caitanyam as "a potency which lies at the root of all motion and change in nature, which is therefore also ascribed, for example, to plants, and means thus rather the capacity of reaction to outer influences, a potency which in its highest development reveals itself as human intellect, as spirit" (D.S.V., p. 59).
