a predominance of knowing or activity. They are:
Direction and Fire; Vayu and Indra, the Sun and
Vishnu, Varuna and Mitra the Ashvins and Prajapathi.
Here the totality of the power of knowing is the mind
and the totality of activity is life, prāna.
१४६. शब्दस्पर्शरूपरसगन्धग्राहकाणि श्रोत्रत्वक्वक्षूर सनन्नाणाख्यानि पञ्च
ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि । त्वक्वक्षुषी स्वग्राह्यगुणाश्रयं द्रव्यमपि गृह्णतः । श्रोत्रमपि
चक्षुर्वत गत्वा शब्दग्राहकम् ।
 
146. The five faculties of knowing are the ear, the
skin, the eye, the tongue, and the nose which are
able to perceive sound, touch, form and colour, taste
and smell respectively. The skin and the eye perceive
also the substance which is the locus of the quality
that they perceive. The ear also goes out, like the
eye, to perceive its object; because of the notion
"The sound is distant.'
 
१४६ वचनादानगतिविसर्गानन्दजनकानि वाक्पाणिपादपायूपस्थाख्यानि पञ्च-
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि । एतच सवं मिलित्वा सप्तदशकं लिङ्गम् ज्ञानशक्तिप्रधान्येन
हिरण्यर्भ इति क्रियाशतिप्राधान्येन सूत्रमिति चोच्यते । अयममूर्तपदार्थः
कार्यत्वाद्वयाष्टौ समष्टौ च जीवोपाधिरेव ॥
 
147. The five faculties of activity are the voice, the
hands, the feet, the organ of elimination and the
organ of procreation. These give rise to the activities
of speech, moving, elimination and joy. All
this together consisting of seventeen components is
the (cosmic) symbolic (or subtle) body. When the
emphasis is on the knowing power it is called Hiranya
garbha and when the emphasis is on the power of
activity, it is called the Sutra (or Sutrātman). This
entity which is without form is a product and as
such, is only the adjunct of the soul in its individual
as well as its collective aspects.
