तन्मात्राणां द्वितीयस्तु भूतसर्गोहि स स्मृतः । वैकारिकस्तृतीयस्तु सर्गश्चैंद्रियकः स्मृतः
tanmātrāṇāṃ dvitīyastu bhūtasargohi sa smṛtaḥ | vaikārikastṛtīyastu sargaścaiṃdriyakaḥ smṛtaḥ
สรรคที่สองกล่าวว่าเป็นการเกิดแห่งตนมาตระ (ธาตุละเอียด) และนั่นเองจดจำว่าเป็นภูตสรรค คือการเกิดแห่งธาตุหยาบ ส่วนสรรคที่สามเรียกว่าไวการิกะ และยังระลึกว่าเป็นสรรคแห่งอินทรีย์ (อายตนะ/ประสาทสัมผัส)
Not specified in the provided excerpt (Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa cosmological narration).
Concept: Creation proceeds from subtle potentials (tanmātras) to gross elements (bhūtas), and from vaikārika (ego/transformative principle) to the sense faculties (indriyas).
Application: Notice how experiences arise: subtle impressions become gross reactions; train the senses (indriya-nigraha) and return to the witness-consciousness through nāma and dhyāna.

FAQs
Tanmātras are the subtle essences (sound, touch, form, taste, smell) that give rise to the bhūtas, the gross elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth) and the material world built from them.
Vaikārika creation refers to the emergence of the sense-faculties (indriyas), often described in Purāṇic/Sāṃkhya-style cosmology as arising from a sattva-dominant transformation of ahaṅkāra.
It outlines a staged creation model: from subtle principles (tanmātras) to gross elements/manifest beings (bhūtas), and then to the instruments of experience (the senses), presenting the cosmos as an ordered emanation.
