Bunyi, sentuhan dan rupa—bahkan rasa juga—masuk ke dalam wangi. Bersatu dengan prinsip semata-mata bau, iaitu gandha-tanmātra, semuanya meresap lalu menjadi unsur Bumi (mahī), sebagai sandaran kasar bagi jiwa-jiwa berjasad (paśu) dalam ikatan (pāśa) ciptaan yang termanifest, menurut tertib Pati (Śiva).
