गुणा गुणाश्रया नोक्तास्तस्माद्रसगुणान् भिषक्| विद्याद्द्रव्यगुणान् कर्तुरभिप्रायाः पृथग्विधाः ||३६||

sanskrit

Properties are not said to be located within properties (i.e., within themselves). Hence a physician should take the properties of rasas as those of dravyas, taking into account the different intentions of the author.

sanskrit

[Origin and basic composition of rasa] Water is predominantly composed of soma (apa), generated in sky, naturally cold, light and having unmanifested rasas. This, while falling from the sky, gets endowed with the properties of five mahabhuta and thus dropped (on the ground) nourishes the physical forms of animals and plants. In this process, six rasas manifest in water.

sanskrit

Of the six rasas, madhura rasa is produced by the predominance of soma (apa), amla by that of prithvi and agni, lavana by that of apa and agni, katu by that of vayu and agni, tikta by that of vayu and akasha, and kashaya by that of vayu and prithvi. Thus, the six manifestations of rasas take place according to shortage and excess of mahabhutas like various complexions and shapes in plants and animals. The shortage and excess of mahabhuta is possible due to kala (the time factor) having six seasons.
