((45) Dhaatur-uttamah –the fundamentals that form the reinforcement on

any existent thing are called Dhaatu. In science of life, as explored

by the Rishis, all corporal forms have risen form and exist as

composed of some definite `elemental factor' called the Dhaatus. Of

the end less varieties of Dhaatus available in existence, the subtlest

Dhaatu, without which no existence, is ever possible, is the chit

Dhaatu, and this is the Dhaatu-ruttamah.

 

Though very rarely, we do find some commentators splitting this word

into two as Dhaatu and uttama. But in the majority of the cases we

find it taken to form one term and explained as `the subtlest of the

Dhaatus'.
