अर्थMeaning
The eye (sight) departed, and having been absent for a year, it came back and said: 'How have you been able to live without me?' They replied: 'Like blind people, not seeing with the eye, but breathing with the breath, speaking with the tongue, hearing with the ear, knowing with the mind, generating with seed. Thus we have lived.' Then the eye entered in.

व्याख्याVyakhya
चक्षु निकल गया। एक वर्ष बाहर रहकर लौटा और बोला, 'मेरे बिना तुम कैसे जी सके?' उन्होंने कहा, 'जैसे अन्धे, चक्षु से न देखते हुए, प्राण से साँस लेते हुए, वाणी से बोलते हुए, श्रोत्र से सुनते हुए, मन से जानते हुए, रेतस् से प्रजा उत्पन्न करते हुए — ऐसे हम जिए।' तब चक्षु भीतर प्रविष्ट हुआ।
