Hi Dallas
"Man needs four flames and three fires to become one on Earth, and he requires the essence of the forty-nine fires to be perfect." SD II,57
Every round stands for one of the seven principles of man. This indicates that there are seven principles within each one of his seven principles. In their totality they represent the 49 Fires. P373 The Divine Plan
"It is simply this: every 'Round' brings about a new development and even an entire change in the mental, psychic, spiritual and physical constitutions of man, all these principles evoluting on an ever ascending scale." SD I, 162
As man is in the fourth round, the fourth principle, Kama, is developing.
"Since the Human Host of Monads is at present engaged in following the Fourth Round, in the spiralling ascent, it will be appaent that the Fourth Principle, Kama, is undergoings its pre-eminent development. Since humanity is engaged in unfolding the fifth major developmental phase - this being equivalent to what is termed the Fifth Root Race - the Manas-aspect of the Kama principle is being stressed. During the Sixth Race, the Buddhi-aspect of the Kama principle will be brought fourth into development. Then during the Seventh Race the Atman-aspect of Kama will receive its pre-eminent unfoldments."
Cosmic Kama: The Universal Sakti - the Will-Force, universal energy. P.181 The Divine Plan.
Hope this answers your question.

"Just as in old alchemical works the real meaning of the substances and
elements meant are concealed under the most ridiculous metaphors, so are the
physical, psychic, and spiritual natures of the Elements (say of fire)
concealed in the Vedas, and especially in the Puranas, under allegories
comprehensible only to the Initiates.
Had they no meaning, then indeed all those long legends and allegories about
the sacredness of the three types of fire, and the forty-nine original
fires- personified by the Sons of Daksha's daughters and the Rishis, their
husbands, "who with the first son of Brahma and his three descendants
constitute the forty-nine fires"-would be idiotic verbiage and no more. But
it is not so.
Every fire has a distinct function and meaning in the worlds of the physical
and the spiritual. It has, moreover, in its essential nature a corresponding
relation to one of the human psychic faculties, besides its well determined
chemical and physical potencies when coming in contact with the
terrestrially differentiated matter.
Science has no speculations to offer upon fire per se; Occultism and ancient
religious science have. This is shown even in the meagre and purposely
veiled phraseology of the Puranas, where (as in the Vayu Purana) many of the
qualities of the personified fires are explained.
Thus, Pavaka is electric, or Vaidyuta, fire; Pavamana, the fire produced by
friction, (or Nirmathya): and Suchi is solar (or Saura) fire *- all these
three being the sons of Abhimanin, the Agni (fire), eldest son of Brahma and
of Swaha. Pavaka, moreover, is made parent to Kavyavahana, the fire of the
Pitris: Suchi to Havyavahana-the fire of the gods; and Pavamana, to
Saharaksha, the fire of the
Asuras. Now all this shows that the writers of the Puranas were perfectly
conversant with the "Forces" of Science and their correlations; moreover,
with the various qualities of the latter in their bearing upon those psychic
and physical phenomena which receive no credit and are unknown to physical
science now.

The Will principle in the 4th round is what some of us are developing. It
is one of the 49 fires.
