The six organs of the senses come next under consideration. These are the eyes, the ears, the nose, the tongue, the body, or rather the skin that envelops it, and the heart in a physical sense, and _mano_ in a moral one. Each of the six senses partakes of the eleven conditions or attributes we are about to describe; and each of these eleven attributes being brought successively into relation with each of the six senses, must be considered, as above stated, under the treble relation to mutability, pain, and illusion. This will supply the inquirer with a good amount of information. But to shorten this long enumeration, we will mention now successively those eleven attributes the senses may be affected by, and make the application of all to one of the senses, the eye. The same process may be easily repeated for each of the other senses. Nothing is to be changed but the name of the sense that has become the subject of examination. 1. _Ayatana_, the door, the opening of each of the senses. Applied to the eye, it is the opening through which exterior sensations are communicated to the heart by the organ of seeing. 2. _Arom_, the object of each of the senses. With regard to the eye, it is the appearance or form perceived by the eye; with respect to the ear, it is the sound. 3. _Winian_, the action of perceiving and knowing. Applied to the eyes, it is the eye seeing and perceiving, or the sight. 4. _Phasa_, literally the feeling or coming in contact with objects, applied to each of the senses. With the eye, it is the passive and active impression it derives from the objects it considers, and which it conveys to the heart. With the ear it is the impression it receives, and similarly communicates to the heart. 5. _Wedana_, the sensation of pain or pleasure obtained through the senses. With the eye it is the sensation created by the sight of objects perceived by the eye, and communicated to the heart. 6. _Thangia_, the idea or persuasion resulting from the six senses, or, according to some doctors, the identity of the appearance with reality. With the eye, it is the conviction we have that such an object, perceived by the eyes, is round or square, &c., according to the impressions received by that organ. 7. _Dzetana_, the inclination or rather adhesion to good or bad, consequently to the impressions received from each of the six senses. 8. _Tahna_, concupiscence originating from the impressions of agreeableness communicated by the six senses. 9. _Witeka_, the idea or representation of objects to the mind through the agency of the senses. 10. _Witzara_, the consideration of the objects offered to the mind by the instrumentality of the senses. 11. _Dat_, the matter or elements of the six senses, or, to speak the language of our author, that on which the organs rest, that which supports them.
