चत्वारोऽप्सु गुणा राजन्गन्धस्तत्र न विद्यते । शब्दः स्पर्शश्च रूपं च तेजसोऽथ गुणास्त्रयः । शब्दः स्पर्शश्च वायोस्तु आकाशे शब्द एव च॥६-६-६॥
In water there are four qualities, O king; smell is not present there. Sound, touch, and form—these are the three qualities of fire. For wind there are sound and touch; and in space there is sound alone.
english translation
एते पञ्च गुणा राजन्महाभूतेषु पञ्चसु । वर्तन्ते सर्वलोकेषु येषु लोकाः प्रतिष्ठिताः॥६-६-७॥
O King, these five qualities operate within the five great elements; they function throughout all worlds, upon which the worlds themselves are grounded.
english translation
अन्योन्यं नाभिवर्तन्ते साम्यं भवति वै यदा । यदा तु विषमीभावमाविशन्ति परस्परम् । तदा देहैर्देहवन्तो व्यतिरोहन्ति नान्यथा॥६-६-८॥
When they do not mutually overpower one another, equilibrium indeed arises. But when they enter into mutual disequilibrium, embodied beings undergo differentiation through their bodies—there is no other way.
english translation
आनुपूर्व्याद्विनश्यन्ति जायन्ते चानुपूर्वशः । सर्वाण्यपरिमेयानि तदेषां रूपमैश्वरम्॥६-६-९॥
They perish in sequence, and they arise in sequence as well. All of them are immeasurable; this is their sovereign (aiśvara) mode of manifestation.
english translation
तत्र तत्र हि दृश्यन्ते धातवः पाञ्चभौतिकाः । तेषां मनुष्यास्तर्केण प्रमाणानि प्रचक्षते॥६-६-१०॥
Here and there, the constituents derived from the five elements are indeed observed; regarding them, human beings, by reasoning, articulate the means of valid knowledge (pramāṇas).
