Third Pâda: 12. Earth from water

The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja · 1 passage

1

12. Earth (from water). Earth originates from water; for so the texts declare 'From water earth' (Taitt Up. II. 1, 1). 'It (water) sent forth food' (Kh. Up. VI, 2, 3). But how can the word 'food' denote earth?--To this the next Sûtra replies.
