Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman, which is greater than great, as the prâ*n*as (senses). The hiṅkâra is smell 1 (nose), the prastâva speech (tongue), the udgîtha sight (eye), the pratihâra hearing (ear), the nidhana mind. These are one greater than the other. 2. What is greater than great belongs to him, nay, he conquers the worlds which are greater than great, who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman, which is greater than great, as the prâ*n*as (senses). ### Footnotes 25:1 Prâ*n*a is explained by ghrâ*n*a, smell; possibly ghrâ*n*a may have been the original reading. Anyhow, it cannot be the mukhya prâ*n*a here, because it is distinctly represented as the lowest sense. Next: II, 8
