Published: 29.07.2015
Updated: 14.08.2017

The Tattvārtha Sutra and its commentary [8] however states it as there can be utmost five senses and a quasi-sense called as mind. The five senses are those of touch, taste, olfactory, visual and auditory.[9] These five kinds of senses had been explained in Uttarādhyayana and other texts as follows:

  • Auditory is the sense which apprehends the sound.
  • Visual is the sense which apprehends the form.
  • Olfactory is the sense, which apprehends the smell.
  • Gustatory is the sense which apprehends the taste.
  • Tactile is the sense which apprehends the feeling of touch." [10]
