Verse 5.88.15

वीतहव्यो मनोमात्रं मनोहंत्वमिवैन्द्रियः ।
मनो जगदिदं कृत्स्नमन्यतानन्यते तु के ॥ १५ ॥

vītahavyo manomātraṃ manohaṃtvamivaindriyaḥ |
mano jagadidaṃ kṛtsnamanyatānanyate tu ke || 15 ||

This sage was the personification of the mind, and it is the mind which is personified in the sensible or visible forms of I, thou, he and this other. (Because the mind being the essential part of man makes his personality, and not the body which is but an appendage to the mind). The mind is also this world which consists in it, and without which it is not known to subsist.
