Meaning
The commentary: as the earth-sphere to come, or as the earth-form known in astronomy, it is the seed of the tree of the many shapes, human and the rest; from that earth, the support of all moving and unmoving beings, the world spreads. Another commentary: the Supreme Self, which has reached the smell-element, is the seed of the tree of shape as the earth-sphere, and the whole world will arise in that Supreme Self, the support of all. With earth the five seeds are complete: sound, touch, form, taste and smell.
