There arises the further question whether breath joined with the soul
unites itself with fire only or with all the elements combined.--With
fire, so much only being declared by Scripture!--This view the Sûtra
sets aside. Breath and soul unite themselves with all the elements; for
Scripture declares the soul, when moving out, to consist of all the
elements--'Consisting of earth, consisting of water, consisting of fire.
'--But this latter text explains itself also on the assumption of breath
and soul unitrng themselves in succession with fire and the rest, one at
a time!--This the next Sûtra negatives.
