196 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 5

TRANSLATION

Thereafter the Personality of Godhead glanced over the sky, partly
mixed with eternal time and external energy, and thus developed the
touch sensation, from which the air in the sky was produced.

PURPORT

All material creations take place from subtle to gross. The entire
universe has developed in that manner. From the sky developed the touch
sensation, which is a mixture of eternal time, the external energy and the
glance of the Personality of Godhead. The touch sensation developed into
the air in the sky. Similarly, all other gross matter also developed from
subtle to gross: sound developed into sky, touch developed into air, form
developed into fire, taste developed into water, and smell developed into
earth.
