Nāgendra–Brāhmaṇa Saṃvāda: Praśna-vidhi and Dharmic Approach on the Gomatī Riverbank
सर्व पञ्चभिराविष्ट भूतैरी श्वरबुद्धिभि: । वैशम्पायनजीने कहा--प्रजानाथ! इस जगत्में जितने प्राणी हैं, वे सब ईश्वरके संकल्पसे उत्पन्न हुए पाँच महाभूतोंसे युक्त हैं
sarve pañcabhir āviṣṭā bhūtair īśvarabuddhibhiḥ |
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “O panginoon ng mga tao, ang lahat ng nilalang na may buhay sa mundong ito ay napapaloob at nabubuo sa limang dakilang elemento, na iniluwal sa pamamagitan ng may layuning kalooban ng Panginoon. Inilalagay ng aral na ito ang buhay na may katawan sa isang kosmos na inayos ayon sa banal na kaayusan, at humihimok sa pagpapakumbaba at pagpipigil sa asal, sapagkat ipinapaalala nitong iisa ang batayang sangkap ng lahat ng nilalang at sila’y sumisibol sa ilalim ng mas mataas na pamamahala.”

Educational Q&A
All embodied beings share a common constitution—the five great elements—and their arising is framed as occurring under the Lord’s purposeful governance. This supports an ethical outlook of humility, non-cruelty, and restraint, since no creature is fundamentally separate in its material basis.
Vaiśampāyana addresses a ruler (“lord of the people”), explaining a doctrinal point about the origin and composition of living beings: they are pervaded by the five elements and come into being through divine resolve, as part of the Shānti Parva’s instruction on right understanding and conduct.
