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 |
毗舍摩波耶那说道：“噢，众民之主！此世一切有情众生，皆为五大所遍满、所构成；此五大由主宰以其有意之愿（誓愿、意向）而令其出生。此教示将有身之生命安置于神圣秩序所统摄的宇宙之中，劝人谦卑并守持伦理自制，因为它提醒我们：万类同具一体的元素根基，皆在更高的主宰之下而生起。”

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.
