→Origin and basic composition of rasa
<div style="text-align:justify;">
<div style="text-align:justify;">
Water is predominantly composed of soma (ap), generated in sky, naturally cold, light and having unmanifested rasas. This, while falling from the sky, gets endowed with the properties of five [[ mahabhuta ]] and thus dropped (on the ground) nourishes the physical forms of animals and plants. In this process, six rasas manifest in water. [39]

Of the six rasas, madhura rasa is produced by the predominance of soma ([[ap]]), amla by that of [[prithvi]] and [[agni]], lavana by that of [[ap]] and [[agni]], katu by that of [[vayu]] and [[agni]], tikta by that of [[vayu]] and [[akasha]], and kashaya by that of [[vayu]] and [[prithvi]]. Thus, the six manifestations of rasas take place according to shortage and excess of mahabhutas like various complexions and shapes in plants and animals. The shortage and excess of [[mahabhuta]] is possible due to kala (the time factor) having six seasons. [40]
