Notes:
[Organs of action鈥擳he brain centres which control speech, manual activity, locomotion, excretion and reproduction. See Sloka 92.
Material Sheath鈥攄escribed in Slokas 154 and following.

For a description of the Five Kosas (Sheaths) the reader is referred to the Taittiriya Upanishad, second Valli or chapter. ]
