अर्थMeaning
The ear (hearing) 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 deaf people, not hearing with the ear, but breathing with the breath, speaking with the tongue, seeing with the eye, knowing with the mind, generating with seed. Thus we have lived.' Then the ear entered in.

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