In the popular belief, semi‐divine beings, shades of saints, inconsumable by '''fire''', impervious to '''water''', who dwell in Tapo loka with the hope of being translated into Satya‐loka — a more purified state which answers to Nirvâna. The term is explained as the aerial bodies or astral shades of “ascetics, mendicants, anchorites, and penitents, who have completed their course of rigorous austerities”. Now in esoteric philosophy they are called ''Nirmânakâyas'', Tapo‐loka being on the sixth plane (upward) but in direct communication with the'' mental'' plane. The Vairâjas are referred to as the ''first gods ''because the ''Mânasa putras'' and the ''Kumâras ''are the oldest in theogony, as it is said that even the gods worshipped them (''Matsya Purâna''); those whom Brahmâ “with the eye of Yoga beheld in the eternal spheres, and who are the ''gods of gods''” (''Vâyu Purâna''). | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Vairâjas}}'''.
