Although originally one, taste becomes manifold as astringent, sweet, bitter, pungent, sour and salty due to contact with other substances.

Translation
One taste divides into many by transformation in combined substances and becomes astringent, sweet, bitter, hot and sour.
The qualities of taste are described. Salty taste should be added to the list. Taste, which is actually only one, known as sweetness, by combination of material objects (bhautikānām) is divided into many.
