20. The sense of hearing (śrotra) is from space (kha), and the sense of smell (ghrāṇa) is from earth. Form (rūpa), the object of sight, is made of fire (tejas), and so is maturation/digestion (vipāka). Sweat (sveda) and taste (rasa) are said to be dependent on water. And the quality (guṇa) of touch (sparśa), which is produced by air, is of the nature of air.
