Sez Bhoja-deva, in his commentary on YS, III 41: shrotraM shabdagrAhakamAhaMkArikamindriyam . AkAshaM vyomashabdatanmAtrakAryam... Have never seen that translated, or tried to translate it myself, so please forgive me any mistakes: shrotraM shabda-grAhakam AhaMkArikamindriyam . AkAshaM vyoma shabda-tanmAtra-kAryam Hearing (shrotram) is the sense (indriyam) perceiving (graahakam) sound (shabda), belonging(?) to ahaMkaara (aahaMkaarikam). aakaasha is space/ether (vyoma)created by (kaaryam) the subtle element (tanmaatra: merely [maatra] that [tat; sic!]) of sound (shabda)...
