Vāzišta — storm fire

Fire of clouds and lightning

Vāzišta is placed over the chest to give a readable bodily analogue for the storm and lightning domain named in the Bundahišn. The air tag marks atmospheric symbolism, while the point's wide uncertainty makes clear that no lightning fire is being asserted inside the thorax.

Bundahišn (Zand-Āgāhīh), Greater Bundahišn chapter 17 (primary_canonical)

Chapter 17 assigns Vāzišta to clouds and lightning; the chest placement is an editorial storm-and-breath analogy and is not a human anatomical claim.
