नारद! पाँच भूत और छठा काल--इन छ: तत्त्वोंको तुम प्रवाहरूपसे शाश्वत, अविचल और ध्रुव समझो। ये तेजोमय महत्तत्त्वकी स्वाभाविक कलाएँ हैं ।। आपश्चैवान्तरिक्षं च पृथिवी वायुपावकौ | नासीद्धि परम तेभ्यो भूतेभ्यो मुक्तसंशयम्
Nārada! pañca bhūtāni ṣaṣṭhaś ca kālaḥ—ime ṣaṭ tattvāni tvaṁ pravāharūpeṇa śāśvatāni, avicalāni, dhruvāṇi ca manyasva. etāni tejomayasya mahattattvasya svābhāvikāḥ kalāḥ. āpaś caivāntarikṣaṁ ca pṛthivī vāyupāvakau | nāsīd dhi param tebhyo bhūtebhyo mukta-saṁśayaḥ ||
Asita said: “Nārada, understand the five great elements and, as the sixth, Time—these six principles—as an eternal, unbroken stream: steady, unmoving, and firm. They are natural portions of the luminous Great Principle (mahat). Indeed, beyond these elements—water, space, earth, wind, and fire—there is nothing further; be free of doubt.”
