The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Advaitānubhūtiḥ

Verse 27

घटनीरान्नपिष्टानामुष्णत्वं वह्नियोगतः ।वह्निं विना कथं तेषामुष्णता स्याद्यथा क्वचित् ॥ २५ ॥

In plain words

The pot, the water, the rice, the flour — the heat in them all comes from contact with fire. Take the fire away, and how could that heat still be there? Not in any of them, not anywhere.

Close to the Sanskrit

Of pot, water, food and flour, the hotness is from conjunction with fire; without fire, how could there be that hotness of theirs anywhere, as it is observed?
