वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि देवानामस्मि वासवः | इन्द्रियाणां मनश्चास्मि भूतानामस्मि चेतना
vedānāṃ sāmavedo.asmi devānāmasmi vāsavaḥ . indriyāṇāṃ manaścāsmi bhūtānāmasmi cetanā
在吠陀經中,我是《娑摩吠陀》;在眾神中,我是因陀羅。在諸根中,我是心意,在眾生中,我是覺知。
Among the Vedas I am Sama-veda; among the gods I am Indra. Among the organs I am the mind, and I am the intelligence in creatures.
婆娑婆 (Vasava) 即是因陀羅 (Indra)。眾神如樓陀羅 (Rudras)、阿底提耶 (Adityas) 等。諸根 (Indriyas) 包括五種知識根 (JnanaIndriyas),即耳、皮膚、眼、舌、鼻,以及五種行動根 (KarmaIndriyas),即語、手、足、生殖器、肛門。心意被視為第十一根。由於諸根若無心意協助便無法運作,故心意被視為諸根之首。覺知 (Chetana) 是智力的一種狀態,顯現於身體與諸根的集合體中。凡能照亮一切,從智力到最粗糙的物體,皆稱為覺知。
