Mbh.3.188.9453	Space with the cardinal points are my body, and the Air is my mind.
Mbh.3.289.14104	If I have sinned, Oh, then let Fire, and Water, and Space, and Earth, like Air whom I have already invoked, also forsake my vital forces!
Mbh.3.311.15389	Space hath been spoken of as water
Mbh.6.65.3596	O thou of yellow robes, O Lord of the cardinal and the subsidiary points of the compass, O thou that hast the Universe for thy abode, O thou that art Infinite, O thou that hast no decay, O thou that art the Manifest, O thou that art the Unmanifest, O thou that art the immeasurable Space, O thou that hast all thy senses under control, O thou that always achievest what is good, O thou that art immeasurable, O thou that alone knowest thy own nature, victory to Thee that art deep, O thou that art the giver of all wishes, O thou that art without end, O thou that art known as Brahma, O thou that art Eternal, O thou that art the Creator of all creatures, O thou that art ever successful, O thou whose acts always display wisdom, O thou that art conversant with morality, O thou that givest victory, O thou of mysterious Self, O thou that art the Soul of all Yoga, O thou that art the Cause of everything that hath sprung into existence, O thou that art the knowledge of the selves of all beings, O Lord of the worlds, victory to thee that art the Creator of all beings.
Mbh.12.181.10931	That Divine Being created Space.
Mbh.12.181.10933	From Space was born Water, and from Water were born Fire and Wind.
Mbh.12.181.10944	Space is his stomach.
Mbh.12.181.10965	This Space which the very gods cannot measure is fall of many blazing and self-luminous worlds each above the other.
Mbh.12.182.11005	Indeed, this celestial voice was heard in the firmament to say, Formerly there was only infinite Space, perfectly motionless and immovable.
Mbh.12.182.11009	As an empty vessel without a hole appears at first to be without any sound, but when filled with water, air appears and makes a great noise, even so when infinite Space was filled with water, the wind arose with a great noise, penetrating through the water
Mbh.12.182.11011	Coming into unobstructed Space, its motion is never stopped.
Mbh.12.182.11013	That fire dispelled the darkness that had covered Space.
Mbh.12.182.11014	Assisted by the wind, fire drew Space and Water together.
Mbh.12.183.11099	Space has only one property.
Mbh.12.193.11564	Sound, the organs of hearing, and all holes, these three, spring from Space as their progenitor.
Mbh.12.198.12075	The same becomes the case with him if he goes to Soma, or Vayu, or Earth, or Space.
Mbh.12.201.12213	SECTION CCII Manu said, From that eternal and undeteriorating One first sprang Space; from space came Wind; from wind came Light; from light came Water; from water sprang the Universe; and from the universe, all things that occur in it.
Mbh.12.205.12415	Water is superior to the Earth in extension; Light is superior to Water; Wind is superior to Light; Space is superior to Wind; Mind is superior to Space; Understanding is superior to Mind; Time is superior to Understanding.
Mbh.12.206.12473	He created by his will the five-fold elements, viz, Wind, Light, Water, Space, and Earth.
Mbh.12.209.12709	From Consciousness proceeds Space.
Mbh.12.209.12710	From Space proceeds Wind.
Mbh.12.218.13232	Space and wind and heat and water and earth, these five objects in a state of union constitute the body.
Mbh.12.231.14341	First springs from it Space.
Mbh.12.231.14343	From Space, by modification, arises the bearer of all scents, viz, the pure and mighty Wind.
Mbh.12.231.14352	Thus Space has only Sound for its attribute.
Mbh.12.231.14353	After Space comes Wind, which has, therefore, both Sound and Touch for its attributes.
Mbh.12.231.14371	It is the Ordainer himself who attaches variety to the great entities of Space, Earth, etc,
Mbh.12.232.14438	Then Space takes the attribute, viz, sound of Wind, upon which the latter becomes extinguished and enters into a phase of existence resembling that of unheard or unuttered sound.
Mbh.12.232.14439	Then Space is all that remains, that element whose attribute, viz, sound dwells in all the other elements, divested of the attributes of form, and taste, and touch, and scent, and without shape of any kind, like sound in its unmanifest state of existence.
Mbh.12.235.14569	Through these the Yogin gradually acquires mastery over Earth, Wind, Space, Water, Fire, Consciousness, and Understanding.
Mbh.12.235.14587	The Yogin, who has achieved the lordship of Space, can exist brightly in Space in consequence of his having attained to uniformity with that element, and can also disappear at will.
Mbh.12.238.14727	are of Space.
Mbh.12.251.15375	Space, wind, light, water and earth counted as the fifth, and bhava and abhava and time, exist in all living creatures having the five for their constituent ingredients
Mbh.12.251.15376	Space is unoccupied interval.
Mbh.12.274.16808	Water, Space, Earth, Wind, and Heat, these are those five essences.
Mbh.12.284.17672	The utterers of Brahma say that thou art the Supreme source of Mind, and the Refuge upon which Space, Wind, and Light rest.
Mbh.12.285.17861	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light forming the fifth, are the great essences.
Mbh.12.285.17867	Verily, sound springs from Space, and all dense matter is the attribute of earth.
Mbh.12.285.17874	Sound, the ears, and all cavities, these three, have Space for their producing cause.
Mbh.12.301.18864	O foremost of eloquent men, about what is called felicity here, having a clear knowledge of what the sorrows are that overtake when the hour comes all those that are concerned with transitory objects and knowing full well the sorrows of those that have fallen into the intermediate orders of being and of those that have sunk into hell, perceiving all the merits and all the faults of heaven, O Bharta, and all the demerits that attach to the declarations of the Vedas and all the excellencies that are connected with them recognising the faults and merits of the Yoga and the Sankhya systems of philosophy, realizing also that the quality of Sattwa has ten properties, that of Rajas has nine, and that of Tamas has eight, that the Understanding has seven properties, the Mind has six, and Space has five, and once more conceiving that the Understanding has four properties and Tamas has three, and the Rajas has two and Sattwa has, one, and truly apprehending the path that is followed by all objects when destruction overtakes them and what the course is of self knowledge, the Sankhyas, possessed of knowledge and experience and exalted by their perceptions of causes, and acquiring thorough auspiciousness, attain to the felicity of Emancipation like the rays of the Sun, or the Wind taking refuge in Space
Mbh.12.301.18866	The wind has for its refuge Space.
Mbh.12.301.18873	Heat attaches itself to the Wind; and the wind has Space for its refuge; and Space has Mahat for its refuge, and Mahat has the Understanding for its foundation.
Mbh.12.302.19036	This fourth creation comprises Wind and Light and Space and Water and Earth, with their properties of sound, touch, form, taste and scent.
Mbh.12.305.19192	Space and other attributes arise from the attributes of Sattwa and Rajas and Tamas, and disappear ultimately in them.
Mbh.12.310.19525	The Unmanifest or original Prakriti, Mahat, Consciousness, and the five subtile elements of Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light, these eight are known by the name of Prakriti.
Mbh.12.311.19564	These are Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light numbering the fifth.
Mbh.12.312.19597	Then Mind cheerfully swallows up that immeasurable Space.
Mbh.12.323.20593	The prayer he addressed to the great God was, O puissant one, let me have a son that will have he puissance of Fire and Earth and Water and Wind and Space.
Mbh.12.323.20607	Possessed of greatness, he shall be as pure as Fire, as Wind, as Earth, as Water, and as Space!
Mbh.12.333.21317	Thou hadst formerly solicited from me a son possessed of the energy of Fire, of Water, of Wind, and of Space; Procreated by thy penances, the son that was born unto thee was of that very kind.
Mbh.12.338.21695	Thou art he who is divested of all attributes, who is the Witness of all the worlds, who is called Kshetrajna, who is the foremost of all Beings, who is Infinite, who is called Purusha, who is the great Purusha, who is the foremost of all Purushas, who is the soul of the three attributes, who is called the Foremost, who is Amrita nectar, who is called Immortal, who is called Ananta Sesha, who is Space who is without beginning, who is both Manifest and Unmanifest as existent and not-existent things, who is said to have his home in Truth who is the first of gods Narayana, who is the giver of wealth or of the fruits of acts, identified with Daksha and other Lords of the Creation, who is the Aswattha and other big trees, who is the four-headed Brahman, who is the Lord of all created Beings, who is the Lord of Speech who is the Lord of the universe or Indra, who is the all-pervading Soul, who is the Sun, who is the breath called Prana, who is the Lord of the waters viz, Varuna, who is identifiable with the Emperor or the King, who is identifiable with the Regents of the several points of the compass, who is the refuge of the universe when it is dissolved in the final destruction who is Undisplayed unrevealed, who is the giver of the Vedas unto Brahman, who is identifiable with the sacrifices and Vedic studies achieved by Brahmanas with the aid of their bodies, who is identifiable with the four principal orders of the deities, who is every one of those four orders, who is possessed of effulgence, who is possessed of great effulgence, who is he unto whom the seven largest offerings in sacrifices are presented with the Gayatri and other sacred mantras, who is Yama, who is Chitragupta and the other attendants of Yama, who is called the wife of Yama, who is that order of the deities called Tushita, who is that other order called Mahatushita, who is the universal grinder Death, who is desire and all diseases that have been created for aiding the advent of Death, who is health and freedom from disease, who is subject to desire and passions, who is free from the influence of desire and passions, who is Infinite as exhibited in species and forms, who is he that is chastised, who is he that is the chastiser, who is all the lesser sacrifices like Agnihotra and others, who is all the larger sacrifices like those called Brahma, etc,
Mbh.12.339.21837	O celestial Rishi, the Earth, which is the refuge of the universe, disappears when the hour for universal dissolution comes into water, Water disappears into Light, and Light into Wind, Wind disappears into Space, and Space into Mind.
Mbh.12.339.21843	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light forming the fifth, the primal elements of great puissance.
Mbh.12.340.22023	Then, again, Brahman, and Rudra, the puissant Sakra the slayer of Vala, Surya, Chandramas the Lord of the stars, the Wind-god, the Deity of fire, the Deity of the Waters, Infinite Space as living Being, the Universe too as a conscious agent, and the rest of the denizens of heaven, they, it seems, are ignorant of the way of securing annihilation of conscious existence, that is capable of being brought about by self-realisation
Mbh.12.340.22056	Earth, Wind, Space, Water, and Light numbering the fifth, these are the five Mahabhutas elements that have sprung from Ahankara.
Mbh.12.342.22622	I have united the Earth with Water, Space with Mind, and Wind with Light.
Mbh.12.344.22846	It attaches to Space, which, in consequence thereof, exists uncovered and unconfined.
Mbh.12.347.23000	Wind then merges into Space, which in its turn, merges into Mind.
Mbh.13.14.1191	I solicit boons from Him who it is that first created Brahma, that creator of all the worlds, having filled Space with His energy and evoked into existence the primeval egg
Mbh.13.14.1192	Who else than that Supreme Lord could be creator of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Space, Mind, and that which is called Mahat?
