* The secret commentaries say seven; for it does not separate the lips
into the "upper" and "nether" lips. And, it adds to the seven centres
the seven passages in the head connected with, and affected by, vach--
namely, the mouth, the two eyes, the two nostrils and the two ears.
"The left ear, eye and nostril being the messengers of the right side of
the head; the right ear, eye and nostril, those of the left side." Now
this is purely scientific.
