Vedantasara - Verse 99

Sanskrit

पञ्चीकरणं त्वाकाशादिपञ्चस्वेकैकं द्विधा समं विभज्य तेषु दशसु भागेषु प्राथमिकान्पञ्चभागान्प्रत्येकं चतुर्धा समं विभज्य तेषां चतुर्णां भागानां स्वस्वद्वितीयार्धभागपरित्यागेन भागान्तरेषु योजनम्

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

The compounding takes place thus: Each of the five elements, viz., ether etc., is divided into two equal parts; of the ten parts thus produced five – being the first half of each element – are each sub-divided into four equal parts. Then leaving one half of each element, to the other half is added one of these quarters from each of the other four elements.
