Karika 22

प्रकृतेर्महांस्ततोऽहङ्कारस्तस्माद्गणश्चAlternative: प्रकृतेर्महांस्ततोऽहंकारस्तस्माद्गणश्च षोडशकः।
तस्मादपि षोडशकात्पञ्चभ्यः पञ्च भूतानि॥ २२॥

Translation by Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1837): From nature issues the great one; thence egotism; and from this the sixteenfold set; from five among the sixteen proceed five elements.
Translation by John Davies (1881): From Nature (Prakṛiti) issues the great principle (mahat, intellect), and from this the Ego or Consciousness; from this (consciousness) the whole assemblage of the sixteen (principles or entities), and from five of the sixteen the five gross elements.
Translation by Ganganath Jha (1896): From Prakriti issues Mahat (or Buddhi); from this Mahat again issues Self-consciousness (Ahankâra), from which proceeds the set of sixteen; from five of these sixteen, proceed the five gross elements.
Translation by Nandalal Sinha (1915): From Prakṛiti (evolves) Mahat; thence, Ahaṃkâra; and from this, the sixteenfold set; from five, again, among the sixteenfold, the five Elements.
Translation by Har Dutt Sharma (1933): From the Nature proceeds the intellect; thence ego, thence the group of sixteen, and from five out of this group of sixteen, the five gross elements.
Translation by Radhanath Phukan (1960): From Prakṛti proceeds the Mahattattva (equivalent to Buddhi); thence the Ahaṁkāra Tattva (the ego-sense); thence the aggregate of the sixteen (11 sense-organs, including the mind, and the 5 Tanmātras); and from the latter five the five Mahābhūtas come out.
Translation by Swami Virupakshananda (1995): From the Primordial Matter evolves the Great Principle; from this evolves the I-Principle; from this evolves the set of sixteen; from the five of this set of sixteen, evolves the five elements.
Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): By the action of the primary force in the self sustaining oscillatory state an intense expanding force is radiated continuously at a calculated value that is at the sixteenth power of the primary value and in a progressive series, it is incremented through sixteen levels that binds or condenses through five orders into five sets of manifested phenomenon.
