Mind as Charioteer; Kṣetrajña, Tapas, and Dhyāna-Yoga
Adhyātma-Upadeśa
एवं षड्विधविस्तारो रसो वारिमय: स्मृत: । मीठा, खट्टा, कड्आ, तीता, कसैला और नमकीन--इस प्रकार छ: भेदोंमें जलमय रसका विस्तार बताया गया है
evaṁ ṣaḍvidha-vistāro raso vāri-mayaḥ smṛtaḥ |
風神ヴāユは言った。「かくして水性の『味』は六種に展開すると説かれる。すなわち、甘・酸・辛・苦・渋・鹹（しおからき）である。」文脈においてこの教えは、感覚経験――とりわけ味覚――を秩序立てて知り得る領域として示し、放縦の混乱ではなく、身体と知覚を規律をもって理解することへと導く。

Educational Q&A
That taste (rasa), understood as a water-based sensory quality, is systematically classified into six kinds; this supports mindful regulation of sense-experience through clear knowledge rather than impulse.
Vāyudeva is delivering an instructive explanation, defining and classifying ‘rasa’ as part of a broader discourse on bodily constituents and sensory functions.
