दृङनेत्रं स्वदनं जिह्वा श्रुतिः श्रोत्रं भवत्यसौ ।
इत्याद्या वासनाः पञ्च बद्ध्वा तासु निमज्जति ॥ ४३ ॥

dṛṅanetraṃ svadanaṃ jihvā śrutiḥ śrotraṃ bhavatyasau |
ityādyā vāsanāḥ pañca baddhvā tāsu nimajjati || 43 ||

It becomes the sight of the eyes, the taste of the tongue and hearing in the ears; then the five senses being fastened to the desires in the heart, plunge the ego into the sea of sensuality.
