10. Fire (is produced) thence, for thus Scripture declares.
It has been stated that everything different from Brahman is the effect of Brahman. The doubt now arises whether the more remote effects of Brahman originate, each of them, only from that substance which is their immediately antecedent cause or from Brahman in the form of that substance.--The decision is that they originate from those
substances only; for the text 'from air fire' directly states the origination of fire from air.
