Tatvas
When Prakṛti comes into contact
with Purusha this balance is disturbed, and Prakriti becomes manifest,
evolving twenty-three
tattvas, namely intellect (buddhi, mahat), ego (ahamkara), mind (manas); the
five sensory capacities known as ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose; the five
action capacities known as hasta, pada, bak, anus, and upastha; and the five
"subtle elements" or "modes of sensory content"
(tanmatras), from which the five "gross elements" or "forms of
perceptual objects" (earth, water, fire, air and space) emerge, in turn
giving rise to the manifestation of sensory experience and cognition.
