Adhyātma-Upadeśa
बीजधर्मिण इत्याहु: प्रसव॑ च प्रकुर्वते । विशेषा: पञ्चभूतानां तेषां चित्तं विशेषणम्,उन पाँचो भूतोंके विशेष कार्य शब्द आदि विषय हैं। उन विषयोंका प्रवर्तक चित्त है
bījadharmiṇa ity āhuḥ prasavaṃ ca prakurvate | viśeṣāḥ pañcabhūtānāṃ teṣāṃ cittaṃ viśeṣaṇam ||
風神ヴァーユは言った。「それらが『種子を宿すもの』と呼ばれるのは、生成をもたらし繁殖を起こすからである。五大元素にはそれぞれ固有の働きがある――音声をはじめとする諸々の感官対象のように――そして、それらの対象を作動させ、確定した性格を与えるのは心（チッタ、citta）なのである。」

Educational Q&A
The verse links cosmology and psychology: the five elements have distinct sense-objects (sound, touch, form, taste, smell), but the mind (citta) is presented as the operative principle that activates and differentiates these experiences, making perception and engagement with objects possible.
Vāyudeva is explaining a doctrinal point about creation and experience: beings are termed ‘seed-bearing’ because they generate offspring, and he then shifts to how elemental qualities become meaningful in lived experience through the functioning of citta.
