Considering ''ushnatva'' (hotness), ''lavana'' comes on the top, ''amla'' in the middle, ''katuka'' on the bottom.

Considering ''sheetatwa'' (coldness), ''madhura, kashaya'' and ''tikta'' come in order of superiority. Considering ''gurutva'' (heaviness), ''madhura'' comes in the highest degree, ''kashaya'' comes next, and ''lavana'' in the lowest degree. Considering ''laghutva'' (lightness), ''tikta'' comes on the top, then ''katu'' and lastly ''amla''. Some take ''lavana'' as the inferior one in the category light ''rasas''. Thus, ''lavana'' is placed in the lowest order considering both ''gaurava'' (heaviness) and ''laghutva'' (lightness). [53-56]
