<ol><li>Each mahabhuta originates from its own tanmatra. As commented by Shri Gaudapad on Sankhyakarika, akasha originated from shabdatanmatra, vayu from sparshatanmatra, agni from rupatanmatra, jala from rasa tanmatra and prithvi from gandhatanmatra respectively.<ref>Gaudpadabhashya on ShriIshvarkrishnavirachitaSankhyakarika,Verse3 Chaukhamba Sanskrit SerieseOffice,Varanasi, 1953.

<ol><li>Each [[Pancha mahabhuta|mahabhuta]] originates from its own tanmatra. As commented by Shri Gaudapad on Sankhyakarika, [[Akasha mahabhuta|akasha]] originated from shabdatanmatra, [[Vayu mahabhuta|vayu]] from sparshatanmatra, [[Agni mahabhuta|agni]] from rupatanmatra, [[Jala mahabhuta|jala]] from rasa [[Tanmatra|tanmatra]] and [[Prithvi mahabhuta|prithvi]] from gandhatanmatra respectively.<ref>Gaudpadabhashya on ShriIshvarkrishnavirachitaSankhyakarika,Verse3 Chaukhamba Sanskrit SerieseOffice,Varanasi, 1953.

<li>Quintiplication (panchikarana): <br/>In Vedant philosophy, it is believed that for formation of each gross element all tanmatras take part in specific proportion. The dominance of concerned tanmatra gives rise to the concerned mahabhoota. That is in each sthulabhuta 50% or ½ portion will show dominance of its own tanmatra and rest four tanmatras will occupy 1/8th  portion (12.50%) each. This is known as panchikarana.<ref>ShrimatsadanandYogeendra, Vedantsar, Verse 28, Chaukhambha Publishers, Varanasi.1998,P.36.</ref></li>

For example, akasha mahabhoota is formed by combination of - 50% of shabdatanmatra, 12.5% of sparshatanmatra, 12.5% of rupatanmatra, 12.5% of rasa tanmatra and 12.5% of gandhatanmatra.

That means first akash originates from shabdatanmatra. Thereafter, vayumahabhoota originates from sparshatanmatra along with shabdatanmatra. So vayu shows two qualities shabda and sparsha, and so on/ The properties of each mahabhuta in sequential formation are shown in table below. </li></ol></div>
