Karika 22: The order in which prakriti unfolds
The words
Translation
From the unmanifest prakriti emerges the Intellect (buddhi), from that [Intellect] emerges the Ego (ahankara), from that [Ego] emerges a collection of sixteen [elements], and from the five [subtle objects] of the sixteen [elements] emerge the five gross elements.
The order in which prakriti unfolds
Sixteen come from the Ego: the eleven senses and the five subtle objects. The gross elements come from the subtle.
Karika 22 adds no new box: it gives the order, so the boxes it names are outlined in gold. Tap any box to see what the karikas say about it.
