Verse 25

²⁵From the tamasa, the source of the elements, as it changed, came space; its measure and quality is sound, which is the mark of the seer and the seen. ²⁶Then from space as it changed came air, whose quality is touch; and by inheritance from what came before it has sound as well; and it is breath, vigour, endurance and strength. ²⁷From air as it changed, through time and action and nature, there arose fire, which has form, and touch and sound besides. ²⁸From fire as it changed came water, whose nature is taste; and water has form and touch, and sound too, by inheritance. ²⁹From water as it changed came the particular thing that possesses smell, endowed by inheritance with the qualities of taste and touch and sound and form.

³⁰From the vaikarika arose mind, and the ten vaikarika gods: the quarters, wind, sun, Pracetas, the Asvins, fire, Indra, Upendra, Mitra and Ka. ³¹From the taijasa as it changed came the ten senses; the power of knowledge and the power of action, understanding and breath, are both taijasa: ear, skin, nose, eye and tongue; speech, hands, the generative organ, feet and anus.
