। ॥ ५३९ ॥
In plain words
"I am deaf." "I am blind in one eye." "I am mute." That is how it is actually experienced — so the senses are the Self, since the knowing of objects belongs to them.
Close to the Sanskrit
"I am deaf, and I am one-eyed, I am mute" — from such experience, the senses become the Self, they in whom there is the cognition of objects.
