According to the ancient thinking an environment is constituted of 5 elements - earth, water, light, air, space. A reference from Chandogya Upanishad 5.24.5 clearly sheds light on the close relationship between Yajña and environment. The verse is as follows यथेह क्षुधिता बाला मातरं पर्युपासते एवं सर्वाणि भूतान्यग्निहोत्रमुपासते ।।
