अम्बुयोन्यग्निपवननभसां समवायतः। तन्निर्वृत्तिर्विशेषश्च व्यपदेशस्तु भूयसा॥२॥

sanskrit

It has Kshma – solidity as its substratum, it takes origin from Ambu (Ap Bhuta – water element), Agni (Tejas Bhuta – Fire element), Pavana (Vayu Bhuta – air element) and Nabhas (Akasha Bhuta – ether element), with their intimate and inseparable combination. Its identification/designation is decided by the predominance of particular element in the Dravya (mass / substance). Five Basic elements – Prithvi – Earth – Gandha (smell) is the special quality, Guru (heaviness), Khara (roughness), Kathina (hard) etc are its general qualities. Ap – Water – Rasa (taste) is its special quality, Tejas – Fire – Rupa (appearance) is its special quality Vayu – Air – Sparsha (touch) is its special quality Akasha – Ether – Shabda (sound) is its special quality These elements combine together in an inseparable combination (Samavaya) to become gross objects and give rise to the formation of all the substances of this universe. Hence the entire universe is Panchabhautik (composed of five elements, hence designated as Prapancha). The proportion/quantity of each Bhuta (element) varies and hence the existence of variety of substances in this universe, each one very different and unique. Whichever element is predominant in any substance bestows its name to that substance. If Prithvi Bhuta (earth element) is more than the other four in a certain combination, then the substance the gets formed is called Parthiva – solid; If Ap Bhuta (water element) is dominant – then Apya – liquid If Tejas Bhuta (fire element) is more, it will be Taijasa (Agneya), if Vayu Bhuta (air element) it will be Vayavya, and if Akasabhuta (space element) is more, it will be Akasheeya (Nabhasa). Thus all the substances of the universe are classified into five kinds.
