योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-51, verse-21

एभ्य एव समुत्पन्नं बहिःस्थं भूतपञ्चकम् ।
पश्यत्यनन्यदन्याभं शाखाशतमिवाङकुरः ॥ २१ ॥

21. ebhyaḥ eva samutpannam bahiḥstham bhūtapañcakam
paśyati ananyat anyābham śākhāśatam iva aṅkuraḥ

21. From these very things (subtle elements/impressions), the external five gross elements (bhūtapañcaka) have arisen.
