Tejas appears in 2 systems: the same name is used for more than one thing. Both are shown below.
The 36 tattvas
Tejas
Tejas is the 34th of the thirty-six Shaiva tattvas — fire / light — in the mahabhuta category. It is used for meditation, discrimination and cosmology.
The 36-tattva chain is the Shaiva (Trika / Shaiva Siddhanta) cosmology, numbered in emanation order from Shiva to earth. It is not the 25-tattva Samkhya list and it does not include the three gunas or the five vayus as tattvas: the gunas are qualities of Prakriti, and the vayus are a separate physiological scheme. The ten entries that overlap the corpus's `tattvas.json` carry a `corresponds_to` cross-reference.
