* The five pentads of sense organs (indriya [[pancha-panchaka]]) include sense organs, source material constituent, site, object, and specific perception. These five components are involved in every knowledge process.[verse 3]
 
* Mind is super-sensual having extra-ordinary capacity to transcend any sense organ. Mind is only one, though it can behave in different ways depending upon specific self constraint, object, and goal oriented activities. Only one object can be perceived at a time by association of mind. Mind has complete control over all senses. The sense organs cannot perceive knowledge without association of mind. The psychological trait is decided by predominance of [[sattva]], [[rajas]] and [[tamas]].  [verse 4-6]
