Karika 33

अन्तःकरणं त्रिविधं दशधा बाह्यं त्रयस्य विषयाख्यम्।
साम्प्रतकालं बाह्यं त्रिकालमाभ्यन्तरं करणम्॥ ३३॥

Translation by Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1837): Internal instruments are three; external ten, to make known objects to those three. The external organs minister at time present; the internal do so at any time.

Translation by John Davies (1881): The internal organs are three; the external ten, and these are to make known external objects to the three (internal organs). The external organs act only at the time present; the internal (or intermediate) at the three divisions of time.

Translation by Ganganath Jha (1896): Internal organs are three; and the external ten, making objects known to the former three. The external organs act at time present; and the internal at the three divisions of time.

Translation by Nandalal Sinha (1915): The internal Instrument is threefold; the external, tenfold, called the object of the three. The external instrument operates at time present; the internal at all the three times.

Translation by Har Dutt Sharma (1933): The internal organs are threefold; the external (organs) are tenfold and they are the objects of the three (internal organs). The external organs function in the present, and the internal organs function in all the three times.

Translation by Radhanath Phukan (1960): The internal organs are of three kinds; the external organs, which alone make objects known to the three internal organs, are ten-fold; the external organs can function only in the present; the internal organs can function (i.e., think) in the past, the present and the future alike (without any distinction).

Translation by Swami Virupakshananda (1995): The internal organ is three-fold. The external is ten-fold; they are called the objects of the three (internal organs). The external organs function at the present time and the internal organs function at all the three times.

Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): The limit of bonding potential is at the third power. The externalizing factor is defined as power and the third power (from the 13 orders) is defined as the detectable state. If the power exists externally as present time the third power of time forms the internal bonding force.
