Vedantasara - Verse 102

Sanskrit

पञ्चानां पञ्चात्मकत्वे समानेऽपि तेषु च “वैशेष्यात्तु तद्वादस्तद्वादः” (ब्र सू २.४.२२) इति न्यायेनाकाशादिव्यपदेशः सम्भवति

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

Though these five gross elements are alike in so far as each of them contains the five elements, yet they are differently named as ether etc., owing to the “preponderance of a particular element in them” (Brahma Sutras II-4-22).
