===Bhuta prakriti (sources of creation)===
Prakriti means the source or origin or fundamental cause. The five subtle elements (viz. ''shabdatanmantra, sparshatanmantra, rupatanmantra, rasatanmatra'' and ''gandhatanmatra''), ''buddhi'' (intellect), ''avyakta'' (''prakriti'' or nature) and ''ahamkara'' (ego) are the eight sources of creation.

The eight bhuta prakriti are known as basic source of creation. Sixteen transformed and bio-transformed elements (''vikara'') viz. five sense faculties, five motor faculties, mind and five ''mahabhutas'' are originated from bhuta prakriti. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 1/63]
