Karika 25
सात्त्विकैकादशकः प्रवर्तते वैकृतादहङ्कारात्। भूतादेस्तन्मात्रः सतामसस्तैजसादुभयम् ॥२५॥
From the various deformations of the ego driven by sāttvik qualities evolve the eleven. The elements evolve from sensations (tanmātra) driven by the tāmasa quality. The rājas quality drives both (the eleven and five sensations).
The five subtle sensations give rise to five elements. The indriyas are made up of sāttvik and rājas qualities, and devoid of tāmasa quality. The sensations and the five elements are made up of rājas and tāmasa qualities, and devoid of Saatwik quality.
