Might be, but it just occurred to me, perhaps (aaditya-)rashmi's (rays [of sun]) represent /agni/, because both Vyaasa and Bhoja IMO mention "walking on water" as the first stage of /aakaasha- gamanam/ (= YF). Like pRthivii (earth: almost everybody is able to "do" that, as in "Beavis and Butthead do America"...:) ), jala (water), agni (fire), [?vaayu(air)], aakaasha (space). ------------------------ Yahoo!
