Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation

आकाशं शब्दमात्रन्तु स्पर्शमात्रं समाविशत् ॥
gatirvisargo hyānandaḥ śilpaṃ vākyañca karma tat / ākāśaṃ śabdamātrantu sparśamātraṃ samāviśat

The verse maps faculties to their functions, then returns to cosmogenesis: elements evolve by successive ‘impregnation’ with additional tanmātras. It implies that complexity arises by layered additions—useful as a contemplative model for how experience compounds.
Sarga: both the functional description of organs and the stepwise evolution of the gross elements.
Ether as ‘sound-only’ becoming associated with touch suggests the first thickening of manifestation: vibration (sound) gains tangibility (touch). Symbolically, subtle intention becomes actionable presence.
