1.7

The earth, the sky, the interspace (antariksham), the heaven, the main quarter, the intermediate quarters; the fire, the air, the sun, the moon and the stars; the waters, the herbs, the forest trees, the space and Atman – So far, regarding all living creatures. Then come those respecting the Soul (adhyatmam) – the Prana, the Vyana, the Apana, the Udana and the Samana; the eyes, the ears, the mind, the speech and the touch; the skin, the flesh, the muscles, the bones and the marrow. After analysis and determining these, the seer said: ‘All this is Paanktam or five-fold or pentadic. The one set of fivefold grouping sustains the other pentadic grouping.’
