The Five Aspects of The Universe

asti bhAti priyam roopam nAma chaityamsha panchakam
Adayatrayam brahma roopam jagat roopam tato dvayam

Meaning: existence, illumination, joy, form and name - these are the five aspects of each object. The first three are related to Brahman and are permanent; the last two are related to the (material) world and are transitory.
