by P. V. 2. 93 इंद्रियं = इंद्रलिंगमिंद्रदृष्टमिंद्रसृष्टमिंद्रजुष्टमिंद्रदत्तमिति वा] 1 Power, force, the quality which belongs to Indra.
2 An organ of sense, sense or faculty of sense. (Indriyas are often compared to restive horses, which, if not properly checked, will lead one astray
cf. मा भूवन्नपथहरास्तवेंद्रियाश्वाः Ki. 5. 50.). There are two kinds of Indriyas: (a) ज्ञानेंद्रियाणि or बुद्धींद्रियाणिः
श्रोत्रं त्वक्चक्षुषी जिह्वा नासिका चैव पंचमी (also मनः according to some)
and (b) कर्मैद्रियाणिः-पायूपस्थं हस्तपादं वाक् चव दशमी स्मृता Ms. 2. 90. In the Vedānta मनः, बुद्धि, अहंकार and चित्त are said to be the four internal organs, the total number of organs being, therefore, 14, each presided over by its own ruler or नियंतृ. In Nyāya each organ is connected with its own peculiar element
the eye, ear, tongue, nose, and skin being connected respectively with Light or fire, Ether, Water, Earth and Air.
