	The subtle (tanmatra) form of all mahabhuta is eternal. During the evolution, the ‘indistinct’ (avyakta) acts as a seat for mass and energy. Due to the potential difference in the energy, elementary forces come into action and produce vibrations. These vibrations produce the sound potential i.e. first or shabdatanmatra. The vibrations further increase compelling the elementary forces to act vigorously and thus produce the touch potential or sparshatanmatra of vayumahabhuta. Once the vibrations increase, it may lead to collisions.This in turn results in the production of heat and light radiation potential.It is correlated to rupatanmatra of agni mahabhuta.<ref>Nalage D H. A study of Samskara and its role in alteration of Pancha-Bhautika composition of Dravya [MD Dissertation]. Jamnagar: Gujarat Ayurved University; 2004</ref>.

	Agni mahabhuta being a conversion factor is placed in middle among the [[panchamahabhuta]]s. It has the capability to convert the [[akasha]] and [[vayu]]mahabhuta to [[jala]] and [[prithvi]]mahabhuta and vice versa. So it originates as the third mahabhuta during evolution.<ref>Gautam K.
