sanskrit

The properties of sky (Akasha), air (Pavana), fire (Dahana), water (Toya), and earth (Bhumi) are sound, touch, color, taste, and smell, respectively, each of the preceding elements possessing one less property than the one immediately succeeding it. Therefore, taste is considered to be a water-originated principle. Due to mutual contact, interdependence, and involvement of all elements with one another, each element contributes to the composition of all material substances. This water-originated taste, modified by its contact with other material elements, can be divided into six different types: sweet, sour, saline, pungent, bitter, and astringent. These, when combined with one another, result in sixty-three different kinds. Among these, the sweet taste is characterized by the predominance of attributes related to the elements of earth and water. The sour taste is mainly associated with the attributes of earth and fire. The saline taste is dominated by the attributes of water and fire. The pungent taste is mainly associated with air and fire. The bitter taste is characterized by the properties of air and sky, while the astringent taste has attributes of earth and air.
