The completion of the previous list. Behind every faculty stands a single experiencer — the Puruṣa. And that experiencer is itself rooted in the supreme, imperishable Self.
यही द्रष्टा है, स्पर्शकर्ता, श्रोता, घ्राता, रसयिता, मन्ता, बोद्धा, कर्ता — विज्ञानात्मा पुरुष। वह परम अक्षर आत्मा में प्रतिष्ठित है।

शोध संदर्भResearch context · not scriptureComparative Research Noteशोध टिप्पणी
यही द्रष्टा है, स्पर्शकर्ता, श्रोता, घ्राता, रसयिता, मन्ता, बोद्धा, कर्ता — विज्ञानात्मा पुरुष। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
