लक्षणं मनसो ज्ञानस्याभावो भाव एव च| सति ह्यात्मेन्द्रियार्थानां सन्निकर्षे न वर्तते ||१८||

sanskrit

[Description of Manas (mind)] Sometimes one understands a thing and sometimes one does not. This proves the existence of the mind as a separate sense organ. That is why, when there is no contact of the mind with sense organs and their objects, no understanding of things can occur.
