अणुश् च
And it is minute.
ज्योतिर् आद्यधिष्ठानं तु तदामननात्प्राणवता शब्दात्

And because it is eternal.
त इन्द्रियाणि तद्व्यपदेशाद् अन्यत्र श्रेष्ठात्
Those are the senses, because they are so designated, except for the highest.

मांसादि भौमं यथाशब्दमितरयोश् च
Flesh and so on are earthly, according to the word; and so with the others.
