Verse 3.13.29

येन पश्यति तन्नेत्रयुगं नाम्ना भविष्यति ।
येन स्पृशति सा वै त्वग्यच्छृणोति श्रुतिस्तु सा ॥ २९ ॥

yena paśyati tannetrayugaṃ nāmnā bhaviṣyati |
yena spṛśati sā vai tvagyacchṛṇoti śrutistu sā || 29 ||

The organs by which the embodied living soul, is to see (external objects), are called the eyes-netras (from their receiving (nayana) the light of the soul). That by which it is to feel, is styled the skin (twak or touch); and those whereby it is to hear, are termed the ears.
