BG - 23

Verse 

 BG. 7.4 

 भूमिरापोऽनलो वायु: खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च । अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा ॥ ४ ॥ 

 bhūmir āpo ’nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ me bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā 

 Synonyms bhūmiḥ — earth; āpaḥ — water; analaḥ — fire; vāyuḥ — air; kham — ether; manaḥ — mind; buddhiḥ — intelligence; eva — certainly; ca — and; ahaṅkāraḥ — false ego; iti — thus; iyam — all these; me — My; bhinnā — separated; prakṛtiḥ — energies; aṣṭadhā — eightfold. 

 Translation Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego – all together these eight constitute My separated material energies. 

 Note: After earth and water next element is Fire. But we already covered agni in BG 15.12 (yad aditya gatam tejo verse). We just recap with children the main points from that class about Agni. 

 Today's main topic is KHAM (ether or space). Last session was Vayu.
