Sanskrit

तमःप्रधानविक्षीपशक्तिमदज्ञानोपहितचैतन्यादाकाश आकाशाद्वायुर्वायोरग्निरग्नेरापोऽद्भ्यः पृथिवी चोत्पद्यते “एतस्मादात्मन आकाशः सम्भूतः” (तै उ २.१.१) इत्यादिश्रुतेः

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

From Consciousness associated with the projecting power of ignorance which has a preponderance of the quality of darkness, has evolved Akasa which, in its turn, has produced air, from air has come fire, from fire water, and from water earth. As in such Sruti passages, “From this Self has evolved Akasa” (Tait. Up. II-1-1).
