- To that level, if any contact is to be established. Pure Gold is not fit for making jewels from. It has to be mixed with copper or other metal.
- Similarly the pure elements being subtle cannot form objects of experience. They have to be mixed with one another to form alloys which alone admit of grossness
- This alloy-making of the elements is given the name of Panchikaranam (making as five-fold) It is one of such alloys that our physical bodies
- And the physical world around us are made. For their the Jivas enjoyment for the coming into existence of the objects of enjoyment and of the habitations
- through which enjoyment is to be had, the Lord once again makes every one of the Akasa and other elements five-fold. The process is explained in next stanza
- Every one of them is split into two halves, The first half is again cut into four. Each one of these fractions is joined with the other half. Thus they all become five-fold
- The idea sought to be conveyed by this cryptic description is this. Split the Akasa atom into two halves. Split one of those halves again into four fractions
- Split the other elements also in the same way. Then put together the unsplit half of the Akasa atom one one-eighth fraction of the Vayu atom,
- One one-eighth fraction of the Tejas atom, one one-eighth fraction of the Apas atom and one one-eighth fraction of the Prithvi atom. The resultant will be a gross Akasa atom.
