7. But the hand and other organs are of a different character (intended for action); hence they are not spoken of thus (along with the intellectual organs).

As the hand and other organs are the instruments of action, they are not spoken of in the same rank as the other (intellectual) organs are. “The knowing think that action is called ‘sthita’ (the stagnating), because it makes one stagnate in the worldly existence. Therefore knowledge as the cause of being lifted up, is here called the moving’ (the way)” (Vayuprokta).

In the text, “The Supreme Being is pervading the sky like the eye” (Rv. 1. 22. 20), pervasion seems to be said of the organs of sense. There is also the argument to support it, viz., that by them things at a distance are heard, seen, etc.; whereas the Kaundinya Shruti says, “By the atoms, he sees, by the atoms he works, the Pranas (organs) are indeed the atoms; for by the Pranas all this is brought about” Hence the Sutrakara says:

8. The organs of sense are atomic indeed; also (pervade by their radiance).

It is (to be understood) thus; “Just as the light of the minute eye is pervading everywhere, so also the light of the soul pervades. Atomic indeed is the soul.” So says Shandilya Shruti, (meaning that the eye and the other organs of the same class are minute (atomic).

“This Prana (breath) does not originate, nor does he Cease to be but stands absolute and unchanged between birth and death; (i.e., is always in the prime of life). Hence the wise call him the Middle.” Thus absence of origin is declared of Mukhya Prana (or the Chief of breaths). Further the observation in the Vayuprokta contains a reason, viz., “How is it possible to think of the origin and dissolution of that Prana whose presence is life and whose separation is death?” On the other hand another text says: “That Prana springs from the Supreme Lord” (Pr. III. 3). So the Sutrakara says:
