बोधोन्मुखत्वे हि महत्तत्प्रबुद्धं यदा भवेत् ।
तदा तन्मात्रदिक्कालक्रिया भूताद्युदेति खात् ॥ ४० ॥

bodhonmukhatve hi mahattatprabuddhaṃ yadā bhavet |
tadā tanmātradikkālakriyā bhūtādyudeti khāt || 40 ||

As the living principle or animal life begins to have its understanding (bodha), it is called mahat or an intelligent being, which is possessed of its consciousness (ahankara). It has then the organs of perception and conception, added to it from their elements (tanmatras) residing in the vacuous ether.
