  • Pancha Bhuta or Pancha Maha-Bhuta (Sanskrit: पञ्चभूत, पञ्चमहाभूत; pañca-mahā-bhūta), five great elements, also five physical elements, is a group of five basic elements, which, according to Hinduism, is the basis of all cosmic creation. These elements are: Prithvi/Bhudevi (Sanskrit: पृथ्वी:, Earth), Apas/Varuna/Jala (Sanskrit: आपः, Water), Agni (Sanskrit: अग्नि, Fire), Vayu (Sanskrit: वायु:, Air), Akasha/Dyaus (Sanskrit: आकाश, Space/Atmosphere/Ether). These elements have different characteristics and these also account for different faculties of human experience. In ayurveda and Indian philosophy, the human body is considered to be made of these five elements. However, Cārvāka did not accept Akasha as basic element as it is not tangible and according to them, there are only four basic elements. Hinduism influenced Buddhism, which accepts only four Mahābhūtas, viewing Akasha as a derived (upādā) element. These five elements of Indian cosmological system are similar but not identical to five element theory used in East Asia. (en)
  • Nell'induismo i Pancha-mahabhutani (o panca-mahabhuta) sono i 5 elementi costitutivi dell'aspetto più grossolano della materia. Essi sono 5: * etere (akasha) * aria (vāyu) * fuoco * acqua (jala) * terra (prithvi) Come detto sono il mezzo attraverso cui si realizza la materia partendo dalle energie sottili (panca-tanmatra), si originano a cascata dal primo, l'etere che è l'unico tra i mahabhuta ad avere connotazione materiale seppur sottile, fino alla terra, prodotto ultimo. Questo schema di creazione a cascata si evince anche dalle qualità ad essi collegate: * akasha: sottile (suksma), morbido (mrdu), leggero (laghu) * vayu: leggero (laghu), secco (ruksa), sottile (suksma), freddo (sita) * tejas: caldo (usna), sottile e penetrante (suksma), leggero (laghu) e secco (ruksa) * jala: fluida (visada), morbida (mrdu) * prithvi: grossolana (sthula), stabila (sthira), pesante (guru) e dura (kathina) (it)
