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 menerangkan suatu proses alam untuk memperlihatkan hukum sebab-akibat: apabila api bersatu dengan angin, ia melontarkan air ke angkasa; dan air yang sama itu—melalui pertemuan api dan angin—lalu memeluwap menjadi suatu jisim yang padat dan tebal.

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.
