Karika 24

अभिमानोऽहंकारस्तस्माद्द्विविधःAlternative: अभिमानोऽहङ्कारस्तस्माद्द्विविधः प्रवर्तते सर्गः।
एकादशकश्च गणस्तन्मात्रपञ्चकश्चैवAlternative: गणस्तन्मात्रपञ्चकञ्चैव॥ २४॥

Translation by Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1837): Consciousness is egotism. Thence proceeds a twofold creation. The elevenfold set is one: the five elemental rudiments are the other.
Translation by John Davies (1881): Egoism is self-consciousness. From this proceeds a double creation (sarga, emanation), the series of the eleven (principles) and the five (subtle) elements.
Translation by Ganganath Jha (1896): Egoism is self-consciousness; thence proceeds a two-fold creation, - the set of eleven and the five primary elements.
Translation by Nandalal Sinha (1915): Self-assertion is Ahaṃkâra. From it proceeds a twofold evolution only: the elevenfold set and also the fivefold Tan-mâtra.
Translation by Har Dutt Sharma (1933): Ego is self-consciousness. Two kinds of creations proceed from it, viz., the group of eleven and the fivefold subtle elements.
Translation by Radhanath Phukan (1960): Ahaṁkāra (i.e., the ego-sense) is individuation or the conceit of one being a separate entity; therefrom arise the two kinds of creation - the eleven aggregates (sense-organs and the mind) and the five Tanmātras.
Translation by Swami Virupakshananda (1995): Ahaṁkāra is self-assertion; from that proceeds a two-fold evolution only, viz, the set of eleven and the five-fold primary (or rudimentary) elements.
Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): Self-potential, as compressed stresses in the simultaneous state and self-action, as the expansion due to accelerating stresses, form the dual mode of initiating an oscillatory state that creates the spectrum of stresses forming the field force, which accelerate and decelerate as an alternating wave form. Since the stresses are in the simultaneous state forming the self potential, only through calculations, by using the axiomatic Dharmic law, the value of the self potential can be arrived at as eleven orders thus leaving five orders forming each set, from the sixteen orders.
