Sūtra translation

(Brahman) that dwells in light and other (elements as the inner guide), is the ruler of (the eye, etc.), organs (which are things effected) out of the same elements; ]or Scripture says that*

That which dwells in Light (Agni) etc., viz., Brahman causes (the various functions) to be discharged by these organs, and this is distinctly stated in such texts as, “ He who dwells in Prana and so on" (Bri. V. 7. 16). Next the Sutrakara answers the question how the organs have in Sruti come to be called the instruments of the soul.
