TRANSLATION
The aggregate elements, namely the five gross elements, the five subtle elements, the four internal senses, the five senses for gathering knowledge and the five outward organs of action, are known as the pradhana.
According to Bhagavad-gita, the sum total of the twenty-four elements described herein is called the yonir mahad-brahma. The sum total of the living entities is impregnated in this yonir mahad-brahma, and they are born in different forms, beginning from Brahma down to the insignificant ant. In the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Vedic literatures, the sum total of the twenty-four elements, pradhana, is also described as yonir mahad-brahma; it is the source of the birth and subsistence of all living entities.
