In plain words
Sight departed. Having stayed away for a full year, it returned and asked, 'How were you able to live without me?' Just like the blind who do not see, yet breathe through breath, speak through speech, hear through hearing, and think through mind—sight re-entered.
Close to the Sanskrit
Sight indeed departed. Having stayed away for a year, it returned and said: 'How were you able to live without me?' Just as the blind, not seeing, breathing by breath, speaking by speech, hearing by hearing, meditating by mind indeed thus, sight entered indeed.
