Tattva 34 — Fire (Tejas / Agni)
Fire and light: the element of heat and visibility, third of the five great elements.
Tejas (also called agni) is the gross element of fire — the third of the five great elements, the principle of heat, light, and transformation. It is what makes things visible and what cooks, burns, and changes them. In the tattva descent it unfolds from the subtle element of form, since fire is the element most bound up with visibility and color.
