The extant sense organs, which are comprehensible by inference, are composed of the (various) combinations of the five mahabhutas (or basic elements). There is a predominance of tejas in the eyes, akash in ears, prithvi in nose, ap in tongue and vayu in skin sense organs. Thus, the sense organs perceive their objects according to the predominance of their constituent mahabhuta because of the similarity of their nature (svabhava) & specific capability of sense perception (vibhu) .

The extant sense organs, which are comprehensible by inference, are composed of the (various) combinations of the five ''mahabhutas'' (or basic elements). There is a predominance of ''tejas'' in the eyes, ''akasha'' in ears, ''prithvi'' in nose, ''apa'' in tongue and ''vayu'' in skin sense organs. Thus, the sense organs perceive their objects according to the predominance of their constituent ''mahabhuta'' because of the similarity of their nature (''svabhava'') and specific capability of sense perception (''vibhu'') .
