BU 3.2.9

त्वग् वै ग्रहः । स स्पर्शेनातिग्रहेण गृहीतः । त्वचा हि स्पर्शान् वेदयत । इत्य् अष्टौ ग्रहा अष्टाव् अतिग्रहाः

tvag vai grahaḥ | sa sparśenātigraheṇa gṛhītaḥ | tvacā hi sparśān vedayata | ity aṣṭau grahā aṣṭāv atigrahāḥ

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

‘ The skin is one Graha, and that is seized by touch as the Atigraha, for with the skin one perceives touch. These are the eight Grahas and the eight Atigrahas.’

Translated by F. Max MüllerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
