Karika 24: The Ego and its twofold creation
The words
Translation
Self-assertion is the ahankara (Ego). From that [Ego] itself, two types of creation arise: (1) the collection of eleven [which consists of the five knowledge senses, the five action senses and the Mind], and (2) the five subtle objects [namely sound, touch, form, taste and smell].
