COMMENTARY

The phrase «from it, thus the Scripture teaches» is to be supplied into this Sutra, from Sutra II., 3. U, in order to complete the sense. The Water is produced from Fire, because the Scripture says: «That fire thought may I be many, may I grow forth. It sent forth water. (Ch. Up. VI., 2. 3)».

«From fire, water (Taittiriya, II, 1)».

There is no room tor interpretation regarding a text which is express and un-ambiguous. In the Chhandogya Upanishad also is given the reason, why water comes out of fire.

«And, therefore, whenever any body- anywhere is hot and perspires, water is produced on him from fire alone».

Similarly, when a man suffers grief and is hot with sorrow, he weeps and thus water is also produced from fire.

Adhikarana VI — Earth is produced from water

and the word «food»

in the Chhandogya Upanishad means earth

In the Chhandogya Upanishad we further find:

«Water thought may I be many, may I grow forth. It sent forth food».

Now what is the meaning of the word «food» here? Does it mean rice, barely, etc., or does it mean earth? The Purvapakshin says it means corn, grain, etc., because of the reason given in the same Upanishad. viz., ‘Therefore, whenever it rains anywhere, most food is then produced. From water alone is eatable food produced».

This shows that the word Annum means barley, etc., and not earth. This is one Purvapaksha. Another Purvapaksha arises from the Mundaka Upanishad where the earth is declared to come out directly from Brahman, and the Taittiriya Upanishad where it is said to come out from water. To remove both these doubts, the next Sutra declares the Siddhanta view:
