The line
Fluidity is the non-inherent cause of the first flowing. It is natural in water. In earth and in fire it is occasional: in ghee and the like it is born of contact with fire, and in gold and the like likewise.
नेपालीमा
द्रवत्व पहिलो बग्नुको असमवायी कारण हो, जलमा स्वाभाविक छ र पृथ्वी तथा तेजमा कहिलेकाहीँ हुन्छ। घिउ आदिमा त्यो आगोको सम्पर्कबाट जन्मिन्छ र सुन आदिमा पनि त्यस्तै।
Where it sits
Gold was classed as fire at 12. Viscidity, which is water's alone, is 32.
