Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation
वायुश्चापि विकुर्वाणो रूपमात्रं ससर्ज ह ।
ज्योतिरुत्पद्यते वायोस् तद्रूपगुणमुच्यते ॥
vāyuś cāpi vikurvāṇo rūpamātraṃ sasarja ha | jyotir utpadyate vāyos tad rūpaguṇam ucyate ||
ವಾಯುವೂ ಪರಿವರ್ತನಗೊಂಡು ರೂಪ-ತನ್ಮಾತ್ರವೆಂಬ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ತತ್ತ್ವವನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿತು. ವಾಯುವಿನಿಂದ ಜ್ಯೋತಿ (ಅಗ್ನಿ/ಪ್ರಕಾಶ) ಉದ್ಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ; ಅದರ ಗುಣ ರೂಪವೆಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Visibility/form is presented as a later emergence than touch and sound, implying that what we ‘see’ is not primary reality but a derived layer—supporting humility about sense-certainty.
Sarga: outlines the sequential arising of tejas from rūpa-tanmātra in the chain of elements.
Jyotis signifies illumination—both physical light and inner discernment. Its arising after vāyu can be read as ‘regulated movement/prāṇa gives rise to inner clarity’.
