He then develops in course of time into the embryo. He is then furnished with the visible organisation. Coming out of the womb in course of time, he becomes conscious of his existence. He then becomes sensible of sound by his ears, of colour and form by his eyes, of scent by his nose, of taste by his tongue, of touch by his whole body and of ideas by his mind. O Ashtaka, it is thus that the gross and visible body develops from the subtle essence.
स जायमानो विगृहीतमात्रः संज्ञामधिष्ठाय ततो मनुष्यः। स श्रोत्राभ्यां वेदयतीह शब्दं स वै रूपं पश्यति चक्षुषा च॥ घ्राणेन गन्धं जिह्वयाथो रसं च त्वचा स्पर्श मनसा वेद भावम्। इत्यष्टकेहोपहितं हि विद्धि महात्मनां प्राणभृतां शरीरे॥
