263.2

niyamas tarhi na prāpnoti saṃsargasyāniyamāt caturguṇā pṛthivī triguṇā āpo dviguṇaṃ teja ekaguṇo vāyur iti/ niyamaś copapadyate/ katham?

Then the rule does not follow, because mixture is without rule—[namely, the rule] that earth has four qualities, water has three qualities, fire has two qualities, and wind has one quality. And the rule does make sense. How?

263.4

pṛthivyādīnāṃ pūrvapūrvam uttareṇottareṇa viṣṭam ataḥ saṃsarganiyama iti/ tac caitad bhūtasṛṣṭau veditavyaṃ naitarhīti//66//

Among earth and the others, each preceding one is pervaded by each succeeding one; therefore, there is a fixed rule of mixture. And this should be understood to occur at the creation of the elements, not at present.
