An eternal portion of me it is, which, becoming an individual soul in the mortal world, draws (to itself) the senses with the mind as the sixth. Whenever the ruler (of the bodily frame) obtains or quits a body, he goes taking these (with him) as the wind (takes) perfumes from (their) seats. And presiding over the senses of hearing and seeing and touch, and taste, and smell, and the mind, he enjoys sensuous objects.
