(In addition to the five organs of perception,
buddhî ̱ndriyāṇi orﾠ jñānêndriyāṇi,
i.e. eye, ear, nose, tongue, andﾠ skin, the Hindūs enumerate five organs of action, karmêndriyāṇi
i.e. larynx, hand, foot, anus, andﾠ parts of generation;
between these ten organs andﾠ the soul orﾠ ātman stands manas orﾠ mind, considered as an eleventh organ;
in the Vedānta, manas, buddhi, ahaṉkāra, andﾠ citta form the four inner orﾠ internal organs, antar-indriyāṇi, so that according to this reckoning the organs are fourteen in number, each being presided over by its own ruler orﾠ niyantṛi;
thus, the eye by the Sun,
the ear by the Quarters of the world,
the nose by the two Aṡvins,
the tongue by Pracetas,
he skin by the Wind,
the voice by Fire,
the hand by Indra,
the foot by Vishṇu,
the anus by Mitra,
the parts of generation by Prajāpati,
manas by the Moon,
buddhi by Brahman,
ahaṃkāra by Ṡiva,
citta by Vishnu as Acyuta;
in the Nyāya philosophy each organ is connected with its own peculiar element,
the nose with the Earth, the tongue with Water,
the eye with Light orﾠ Fire, the skin with Air, the ear with Ether;
the Jainas divide the whole creation into five sections, according to the number of organs attributed to each being.)
