Manas (mind) is the connecting link between sensory organs and the purusha. For knowledge of any subject from the external world, the link between purush and sensory organs must be established. This is possible when the maans is connected with both these components. Therefore, the presence of manas is must for the perception of subject or knowledge and in the absence of which no knowledge or perception occurs. The objects which are perceived through the Indriyas (senses) are termed as Arthas (objects). Each Indriya (senses) has specific objects to perceive, not the else. In the same way Manas (mind) as being an independent Indriya (senses), it also has its own Manoarthas (Objects of mind). For the cognition sense objects conjoins with senses and senses with Manas (mind). Buddhi Vyapara (discrimination) follows just after it. Buddhi (intellect) works on it by reasoning and logic and reacts accordingly. If there is no action to be taken then it gains knowledge and gets stored for further use. Retention of cognition takes place under the area of Medha (storage device)

Also known as Jnanendriyani (ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि). Total 5 in number

The process of cognition carried out by Buddhi is incomplete without participation of sensory organs. Since purush acquires jnana (knowledge) through this process of cognition, these sensory organs are called as Jnanendriyani (ज्ञानेन्द्रियाणि). These are total 5 in number. Each of these 5 organs have dominance of 1 element or mahabhuta than rest of the 4 mahabhutas. Buddhi operates through these 5 sensory organs.

Types of buddhi are identified on the basis of the source of that knowledge. If the purush acquires knowledge about image of some thing which is obtained through eyes (Chakshu), that buddhi is known as chakshubuddhi. Similarly on the basis of source or route of knowledge buddhi is of various types.

सर्वलोकमात्मन्यात्मानं च सर्वलोके सममनुपश्यतः सत्या बुद्धिः समुत्पद्यते| सर्वलोकं ह्यात्मनि पश्यतो भवत्यात्मैव सुखदुःखयोः कर्ता नान्य इति|

Satyabuddhi has a special significance. It is that type of buddhi which develops in an individual when the person's manas is full of [[Sattva (सत्त्वम्)|sattva]] guna and devoid of [[Rajas (रजः)|rajas]] and [[Tamas (तमः)|tamas]] guna. Exclusively abundant sattva guna in manas empowers the person to brake the barriers of ignorance and darkness clouding the buddhi. Beyond the boundaries of ignorance the person understands the real nature of existence. The person attains detachment to things i.e., one becomes desire less leading to attainment of yogic power and accomplishment of samkhya (knowledge of all categories).  These realizations make the individual wise freeing him from ego, leading to freedom from vanity and detachment from the causes of misery. Such a person does not hold anything but renounces everything. The Brahman, the Eternal, Immutable, Tranquil and Indestructible, is, thus, attained and is the ultimate wisdom, also known as vidya (learning), siddhi (accomplishment), mati (wisdom), medha (power of retention), prajna (intellect) and jnana (knowledge).
