Sanskrit recitationPaingala Upanishad 9

sa teṣāṃ sattvāṃśaṃ caturdhā kṛtvā bhāgatrayasamaṣṭitaḥ pañcakriyāvṛttyātmakam antaḥkaraṇam asṛjat | sa teṣāṃ sattvatūryabhāgena jñānendriyāṇy asṛjat ||9||

તેણે તેમના સત્ત્વાંશને ચતુર્ધા કરીને, ત્રણ ભાગોના સમષ્ટિથી પંચક્રિયાવૃત્તિ-રૂપ અંતઃકરણની રચના કરી. અને તેમના સત્ત્વના ચોથા ભાગથી જ્ઞાનેન્દ્રિયોનું સર્જન કર્યું॥૯॥

He, having made their sattva-portion into four parts, created from the aggregate of three parts the inner instrument (antaḥkaraṇa) consisting of five functional activities. From their fourth part, the sattva-fourth, he created the organs of knowledge (jñānendriyas).

Antaḥkaraṇa and jñānendriyas arising from sattva; subtle body analysis (sūkṣma-śarīra)Mahavakya: Indirect: supports mahāvākya contemplation by distinguishing the knowing apparatus (mind/senses) from the ultimate Knower (Ātman), aligning with inquiry implied by 'tat tvam asi' and 'aham brahmāsmi'.AtharvaChandas: Prose
