गर्भस्तु खल्वन्तरिक्षवाय्वग्नितोयभूमिविकारश्चेतनाधिष्ठानभूतः। एवमनया युक्त्या पञ्चमहाभूतविकारसमुदायात्मको गर्भश्चेतनाधिष्ठानभूतः; स ह्यस्य षष्ठो धातुरुक्तः ॥६॥

॥ Composition of embryo॥ Garbha (embryo) is produced by the five mahabhutas, i.e. akasha,vayu, agni, jala and prithvi and associated with the consciousness (chetana). It represents the combination of five mahabhutas and is also a holder of consciousness. Thus, the chetana constitutes the sixth dhatu and is responsible also for the formation of garbha (embryo).
