Verse 6.10.11

तत्र दूरस्थिता मुक्तिर्मन्ये वेद्यविदां वर ।
सुप्तपुर्यष्टका यत्र चित्स्थिता दुःखदायिनी ।
मूकान्धजडवत्तत्र सत्तामात्रेण तिष्ठति ॥ ११ ॥

tatra dūrasthitā muktirmanye vedyavidāṃ vara |
suptapuryaṣṭakā yatra citsthitā duḥkhadāyinī |
mūkāndhajaḍavattatra sattāmātreṇa tiṣṭhati || 11 ||

It is impossible for them to have their liberation, whose organs of the eight senses lie as dormant and dumb and blind and inert in them as in any dull and dirt matter: and if they have any perception, it is that pain only. (The puryastaka are the eight internal and external organs of sense instead of the ten organs casandria. By dormancy is meant their want of reason, and muteness and blindness express respectively the want of their faculties of sensation and action, inertness means here the want of mental action.
