5241. 'He restored me to my position' means that the sensory power belonging to the understanding part of the mind was accepted. This is clear from the meaning of the cupbearer, meant by 'me' here, as the sensory power belonging to the understanding part, dealt with above; and from the meaning of 'restoring to one's position as restoring to order and making subordinate, dealt with in 5125, 5165, and so also as accepting.
