The "evolute only" means the five gross elements, ether, &c., and the eleven organs, as said in the Kārikā, "The evolute consists of sixteen;" that is, the set of sixteen is evolute only, and not evolvent. Although it may be said that earth, &c., are the evolvents of such productions as cows, jars, &c., yet these are not a different "principle" (tattva) from earth, &c., and therefore earth, &c., are not what we term "evolvents;" as the accepted idea of an evolvent is that which is the material cause of a separate principle; and in cows, jars, &c., there is the absence of being any such first principle, in consequence of their being all alike gross \[i.e., possessed of dimensions\] and perceptible to the senses. The five gross elements, ether, &c., are respectively produced from sound, touch, form, taste, and smell, each subtile element being accompanied by all those which precede it, and thus the gross elements will have respectively one, two, three, four, and five qualities.\[7\] The creation of the organs has been previously described. This is thus propounded in the Sāṅkhya Kārikā (§ 22)— > — Edward Byles Cowell & Archibald Edward Gough 1882, The Sarva-darśana-saṃgraha, or Review of the Different Systems of Hindu Philosophy - [Previous: 14.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.14.12) - [Next: 14.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.14.14) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.14) ## Translations (2) - [The Sarva-darśana-saṃgraha, or Review of the Different Systems of Hindu Philosophy](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha~en-cowell.14.p2) — Edward Byles Cowell & Archibald Edward Gough 1882, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha~en-mt.14.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.14.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.14.13) · Pramāṇa
