This pancha-panchaka system [table 1] reveals that senses are the instruments for knowledge of material in external world. All things are constituted by pancha mahabhuta [ five elements]. Specific sense can perceive the object related to its own basic constituent due to tulyayonitva (origin -action similarity). E.g. The eyes can see external tejas mahabhuta and perceive the visual sensation only. The continuous interaction is carried out between external materialistic world and internal world [within body] comprising sense perceptions, mind, intellect and soul. The details about sense organs and their interaction with mind are described further in first chapter of Sharira sthana [section of anatomy and physiology ]. | This pancha-panchaka system [table 1] reveals that senses are the instruments for knowledge of material in external world.
