Deprived of its quality of aroma by the wind, the element earth is transformed into water; and water, deprived of its taste by that same wind, is merged into fire.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
वायुना हृतगन्धा भूः सलिलत्वाय कल्पते । सलिलं तद्धृतरसं ज्योतिष्ट्वायोपकल्पते
vāyunā hṛtagandhā bhūḥ salilatvāya kalpate | salilaṃ taddhṛtarasaṃ jyotiṣṭvāyopakalpate
