combine to form flesh, bone, blood and so on. All these appear as various apartments. It is said in the  Vedas  that the digested foods are ultimately divided into three. The solid portion becomes stool, and the semi-liquid portion turns into flesh. The liquid portion turns yellow and is again divided into three. One of these liquid portions is called urine. Similarly, the fiery portion is divided into three, and one is called bone. Out of the five elements, fire, water and foodgrains are very important. These three are mentioned in the previous verse, whereas sky (ether) and air are not mentioned. This is all explained in  Bhagavad-gītā :
prakṛtiṁ puruṣaṁ caiva viddhy anādī ubhāv api vikārāṁś ca guṇāṁś caiva viddhi prakṛti-sambhavān
“Material nature and the living entities should be understood to be beginningless. Their transformations and the modes of matter are products of material nature.” (Bg. 13.20)
Prakṛti , material nature, and  puruṣa , the living entity, are eternal. When they both come in contact, there are different reactions and manifestations. All of them should be considered the results of the interaction of the three modes of material nature.
