Śukasya Janma-yoga-phalaṁ — Vyāsasya Tapasā Putrārthaḥ (Śānti-parva 310)
शब्द: स्पर्शक्ष रूपं च रसो गन्धस्तथैव च । वाक् च हस्तौ च पादौ च पायुर्मेढ्ें तथैव च,ये आठ प्रकृतियाँ कही गयीं। अब मुझसे विकारोंका भी वर्णन सुनो-श्रोत्र, त्वचा, नेत्र, जिह्ठा, पाँचवीं नासिका, शब्द, स्पर्श, रूप, रस, गन्ध, वाणी, हाथ, पैर, लिंग और गुदा
śabdaḥ sparśaś ca rūpaṃ ca raso gandhas tathaiva ca | vāk ca hastau ca pādau ca pāyur meḍhraṃ tathaiva ca ||
阎若婆迦说道：“声、触、色、味、香；又有语、二手、二足、肛门与生殖器——皆在其列。今再听我说诸变异（vikāra）：耳、皮、眼、舌，第五为鼻；并及声、触、色、味、香、语、手、足、生殖器与肛门。”在此教诲中，圣者分判有身经验之诸成分，以培育辨别与离著，引导听者趋向自制与解脱，而不与诸根及其作用相认同。

Educational Q&A
The verse classifies the sense-objects and organs of action as enumerated constituents, then points to their ‘modifications’ (vikāras). The purpose is discriminative knowledge: recognizing bodily and sensory functions as components of nature rather than the Self, fostering detachment and progress toward mokṣa.
In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, the sage Yājñavalkya is instructing his listener(s) by listing categories of embodied experience—sense-objects and action-organs—and then transitioning to explain their derivative manifestations, continuing a systematic philosophical exposition.
