These are the archetypes or primordial bases (tanmātrēṃ) of the five gross elements. Hence the phrase pañca- bhūta āṇi pañca tanmātrā, so often occurring in Hindu disquisitions on cosmogony, signifies The five solid or substantial and the five subtil or superelementary principles of all material subsistencies. See tanmātrēṃ.
