In plain words

Brahman conditioned by avidyā is what the word sat, “being,” signifies. From Brahman arises Avyakṛta, the Unmanifest; from Avyakṛta arises mahat, from mahat ahaṃkāra, and from ahaṃkāra the five tanmātras, the subtle elements. These give rise to the five mahābhūtas, the great elements, and from them comes the whole world.
