TRANSLATION

Thereafter, desiring to evacuate the refuse of eatables, the evacuating
hole, anus, and the sensory organ thereof developed along with the con-
trolling deity Mitra. The sensory organ and the evacuating substance are
both under the shelter of the controlling deity.

PURPORT

Even in the matter of evacuating stool, the refuse is controlled, so how
can the living entity claim to be independent?
