Adhyaya 45 — Mount Meru
वायुश्चापि विकुर्वाणो रूपमात्रं ससर्ज ह ।
ज्योतिरुत्पद्यते वायोस् तद्रूपगुणमुच्यते ॥
vāyuś cāpi vikurvāṇo rūpamātraṃ sasarja ha | jyotir utpadyate vāyos tad rūpaguṇam ucyate ||
वायुरपि विकारं गत्वा रूपतन्मात्रं सूक्ष्मं ससर्ज। वायोर्ज्योतिः प्रादुर्भवति; तस्य गुणो रूपमिति कथ्यते।

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’.
