SŪTRA 3
"AND ON ACCOUNT OF THE DIRECT MENTION (IN) THAT OF WHAT
IS PRIOR."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"On account of the direct mention," in that text, of the verb,—
used in its primary sense in connection with the ether and the rest,—
in reference to the sense-organs as well, the origin of the sense-organs

"On account of the direct mention," in "that", i.e in the text:
'From him arise the vital-breath, the mind and all the sense-organs,
the ether, the air' (Muṇḍ. 2 1 3), of the word 'arises',—used in its
primary sense with reference to the ether and so on,—with reference
to the sense-organs, mentioned even prior to the ether and the rest,—
the scriptural text designating the origin of the sense-organs is, indeed,
primary. It is not possible that one and the same word 'arises' is
used in a secondary sense with reference to the sense-organs, and in a
primary sense with reference to the ether and the rest. For this
reason too, it is used in a primary sense alone in both the cases.

by light, water and food in the passage: " 'The mind, my dear, is
