Translation
The inner organ is known as the manas (mind), the buddhi (intellect), the aham (ego) and the cittam (thinking faculty) by virtue of its (different) functions. It is called mind by virtue of cognition and doubt (indeterminate cognition on first seeing an object); it is known as intellect by the property of definitive cognition of an object; it is called the ego by virtue of identification with the body as ‘I’ and by the property of recalling an object it is called cittam.
