तेषामेकगुणः पूर्वो [२] गुणवृद्धिः परे परे| पूर्वः पूर्वगुणश्चैव [३] क्रमशो गुणिषु स्मृतः| |२८||

sanskrit

The order of mahabhutas mentioned above is important because, starting with akasha, the number of attributes per mahabhuta increases in the above order. This increase in number of attributes is cumulative, i.e., the attribute of the preceding mahabhutas is added to the succeeding one. This process of gunantara vriddhi in mahabhutas is also known as bhutanipravesha
