The mind is illustrated as 鈥�manas鈥� [尘补苍补岣�]from the root word 鈥�man鈥�, "to think" having the competence of recording, storing and commemorating the received impressions gathered by the sense of the outside world. The accrued sense yields Vigyana rather than wisdom and understanding. It is coupled with the intellect, inner conciousness, memory and ego. The mind is further divided as Buddhimanas and Karmamanas (higher and lower mind).As per Sage Garga, Sun is the King and Moon is the Queen [补丑补峁� 谤腻箩腻 艣补艣墨 谤腻驳颈峁噄] while Surya is responsible for prosperity and Chandra rules the mind of an individual.

Manas directs the ten senses or Indriyas and influence one to carry out the directions to distinguish the good and bad. The word meaning of 鈥楳an鈥� implies that 鈥榟e鈥� is the master of 鈥淢ind鈥�. Mahat or universal mind is the source of manas. Mana is the human constitution whereas mahat is in the cosmic constitution. Mamas is sometimes loosely called the kshetrajna or real incarnating and permanent spiritual ego, the individuality; but the kshetrajna strictly speaking is the buddhimanas or higher-manas. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well.
