(2) According to Śaṁkara and Bhāskara, first the function of the

the function of the mind in the breath; that of the breath in the soul,
and the soul abides in the elements.

mind both organically and functionally and then the other sense-
organs; the mind with the breath, the breath with the soul and so on.
