(The seat named after) the syllable O峁� is the Earth Principle. Water [i.e., 腻辫补蝉-迟补迟迟惫补] is the venerable P奴r峁嘺giryaka. The Fire Principle is called J膩la. Wind is the venerable K膩mar奴paka. Space is said to be Tisra. The seats that have arisen from the Kula (the matrix of energies) are five. [...] Fire is above. Water is below. Slanted (to the side) above is Wind. Earth, in the middle, is the immobile Vidy膩 and Space is everywhere鈥�.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: Wisdom Library: 膧ra峁噛aka膧辫补蝉 (啶嗋お啶膏, 鈥渨aters鈥�) refers to one of the 诲谤补惫测补辫补帽肠补办补 (fivefold substances), defined in the Taittir墨ya-膩ra峁噛aka 7.7.1. The 诲谤补惫测补辫补帽肠补办补, and other such fivefold divisions, are associated with the elemental aspect (补诲丑颈产丑奴迟补) of the three-fold division of reality (补诲丑颈产丑奴迟补, adhidaiva and 补诲丑测腻迟尘补) which attempts to explain the phenomenal nature of the universe. Adhibh奴ta denotes all that belongs to the material or elemental creation.
The Taittir墨ya-膩ra峁噛aka is associated with the K峁涐梗峁嘺-yajurveda and dates from at least the 6th century BCE. It is composed of 10 chapters and discusses vedic rituals and sacrifices (such as the 尘补丑腻测补箩帽补) but also includes the 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补-耻辫补苍颈峁诲 and the Mah膩n膩r膩ya峁嘺-upani峁d.
