BG 7.4
भूमिरापोऽनलो वायुः खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च
अहंकार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा
bhūmirāpo'nalo vāyuḥ khaṃ mano buddhireva ca
ahaṃkāra itīyaṃ me bhinnā prakṛtiraṣṭadhā
TRANSLATION
Earth, water, fire, air, ether, Manas, Buddhi and ego-sense—thus My Prakrti is divided eightfold.
PURPORT
Know that Prakrti, the material cause of this universe, which consists of endless varieties of objects and means of enjoyment and places of enjoyment, is divided into eightfold substances—earth, water, fire, air and ether, having smell, taste etc., as their attributes, and Manas along with kindred sense organs and the categories Mahat and ego-sense—all belonging to Me.
