संयोज्य स्थूलतां यान्ति व्योमादीनि यथाक्रमम् ।अमुष्य पञ्चीकरणस्याप्रामाण्यं न शङ्क्यताम् ॥ ४०१ ॥
In plain words
Space, air, fire, water, earth — each mixes with the others and so turns gross, each in its proper turn. And do not suspect that this quintuplication has no scripture behind it.
Close to the Sanskrit
Having combined, ether and the rest attain grossness, each in its own order. Of this quintuplication let no lack of scriptural authority be suspected.
