केवलं ज्ञत्वविषयमुपदेशार्थसिद्धये ।
त्वया करणभूतेन करोत्यात्मेति कथ्यते ॥ ५८ ॥

kevalaṃ jñatvaviṣayamupadeśārthasiddhaye |
tvayā karaṇabhūtena karotyātmeti kathyate || 58 ||

Truly the mind is represented as an organ of the sense of perception and action, and the internal instrument of knowing the soul, and not the soul itself; but this is only by way of explaining the knowable by something familiar and better known to us, and serving as its Synonym.
