Shloka 15

अग्नि: पवनसंयुक्तः खं समाक्षिपते जलम्‌ | सोडग्निमारुतसंयोगाद्‌ घनत्वमुपपद्यते,“वायुका संयोग पाकर अग्नि जलको आकाशमें उछालने लगी; फिर वही जल अग्नि और वायुके संयोगसे घनीभूत हो गया

agniḥ pavanasaṃyuktaḥ khaṃ samākṣipate jalam | so 'gnimārutasaṃyogād ghanatvam upapadyate |

Bharadvāja explains a natural process to show causality: when fire, joined with wind, hurls water up into the sky, that very water—through the conjunction of fire and wind—then becomes condensed into a dense mass.

Educational Q&A

That phenomena arise from definite causes and combinations (saṃyoga). Recognizing orderly causation—here shown through elemental interaction—supports right understanding and steadiness in ethical decision-making.

Bharadvāja describes how fire aided by wind propels water into the sky, and how that water, influenced again by fire and wind, becomes dense/condensed—an illustrative account of elemental processes used for instruction.
