1 The word is the same as at Maitri, p. 41, the comment on which should be seen. ? T.e. the mind’s power is to be perceived by itself, Nîlakaṇṭha. The meaning seems to be that the understanding can only operate on what the mind places before it. $ The passage at Kaṭha, p. 111 seq., and Sankara’s commentary there, throw light on this, though the figure is not drawn out in the same way in both places. For a definition of Kshetragña, see Santi Parvan (Moksha), chap. 187, st. 23.
* Jie. the senses.
5 Le. that which holds the horses in check. Nîlakaṇṭha seems to render it by ‘whip,’ but that is not correct, I think. ® So Arguna Misra. Nîlakaṇṭha says, ‘The senses, &c., when they turn towards the outer world make the self drive about, as an individual self; when turned inwards they show him that he is the Brahman.’ Nîlakaṇṭha thus likens this to the Kaṭha passage. See also p. 187 and notes there.
7 Or it may mean, among all men.
* See p. 164 supra, note 2; and p. 288, note 4.

1 The word is the same as at Maitri, p. 41, where the comment should be consulted. 2 That is, the mind's power can only be perceived by itself, according to Nîlakaṇṭha. The meaning seems to be that the understanding can only work with what the mind places before it. 3 The passage at Kaṭha, p. 111 seq., together with Sankara's commentary there, throws light on this, though the figure is not developed in the same way in both places. For a definition of Kshetrajña, see Santi Parvan (Moksha), chap. 187, st. 23.
