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.
