Translation

The ear, skin, eye, nose and tongue are the sense organs for the reason that they perceive (external) objects. The five organs of action – speech, hands, feet, the rectum and the genital organ – have proclivity for action.

Annotation

The terms ear, skin, eye etc., refer to the sense of hearing, sense of touch etc., and not to the physical, external organs (Jagadguru).
