Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-15 Puruṣottama Yogaḥ

Commentary The Jīvātman is the lord of the body whanever it departs and goes on its way, it takes with it the [mental] sense-faculties and the elements, in a subtle form; just like the wind carrying the subtle fragrances from flower-garlands, sandal-paste, musk etc. from their sources and spreads them elsewhere. śrotraṃ cakṣuḥ sparśanaṃ ca rasanaṃ ghrāṇam eva ca | adhiṣṭhāya manaścāyaṃ viṣayān upasevate || 9 || 9. Presiding over the ear, the eye, the sense of touch, the tongue, the nose, and the mind, it experiences these objects of the senses.
