WATER
The origin of the water element is the tanmatra of taste called Rasa.
Rasa in this context is the primordial causation of the experience of taste.
Rasa tanmatra is the causal energy that provides the potential for the experience of taste to occur. It is not the taste itself. However, since taste depends upon the water element for its manifestation, disorders of the ability to taste are due to an imbalance of the water element.
