yaḥ plāvayati saṃrabdhaṃ puryaṣṭakamitastataḥ |
yena mūkīkṛtā mūḍhāḥ śilā dhyānamivāsthitāḥ || 12 ||

He who appoints the eight internal and external organs (Paryashtakas) of sense and action to their several functions;and who has made the dull and dumb creatures as inert as stones, and as mute as they are sitting in their meditative mood.
