COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
He, the supreme Purusha, created Pañchajana, fully conscious human beings, with the help of elements in permutation and combination.
Pañchajana is the name of human beings. They are born from the five elements. They are born from the combination of light, water, earth, food and seed ( semen ); They were born of five oblations as it were of sky, rain, earth, male and female; they are virtually Sraddha faith, Soma-nutritive force, Varsha-rain, Anna-food and Retas-seed. They are thus known as the elements which were invested with consciousness. "Thus the waters of the sky become known as a person when they reach (the stage of semen) the fifth oblation." ( Chhan. V-9-1 ) and ( Brh. VI-2-9 to 13 ).
This is the principle involved in Pañchagni Vidya and it is discussed in Brahma Mimamsă (written by Vasishtha Ganapati Muni).
Yaska refers to this matter and describes it: "Some hold that these Pañichajanas are, Gandharvas, Pitrs, Devas, Asuras, and Rakshasas. Aupamanyus hold that Pañichajanas are the four castes, ie, Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaiśya, Sudra and the fifth is Nishādas ( Nirukta III-8-1). Thus he refers to the two meanings of the word Pañchajana.
He, the Purusha, entered into those Pañchajanas, whom he himself had created, with the help of consciousness and became Pañchajanya. assumed a corresponding form.
He
His five limbs are these Pañchajana.
