In cases where veerya and vipaka are in conformity with rasa, the properties are known by the rasa itself as in cases of milk, ghee, (madhura-sheeta) and chavya- chitraka (katu-ushna). In such other cases too, the physician should know (the properties) on the basis of rasa. [46-47]

There are certain exceptions to this: some substances, though madhura, kashya and tikta in rasa, are ushna in veerya such as bruhat pancha mula and meat of aquatic and marshy animals. Rocksalt, though being lavana, and amalaka, though being amla in rasa, is not ushna (in veerya). Arka, aguru and guduchi are tikta (in rasa) but ushna (in veerya). [48-49]

Likewise, there are also variations in actions of rasa. Some substance of amla rasa is astringent (such as kapittha) while other is purgative (such as amalaka). Katu rasa is non-aphrodisiac but pippali and shunthi (through katurasa) are aphrodisiac. Kashaya rasa is stambhana (stopping or stalling) and sheeta (cold) but haritaki (through kashaya) is the exception (it is laxative and hot). Hence only on the basis of rasa, one cannot prescribe all the substances when even in substances of similar rasa, difference in properties is observed in individual cases. [50-52]
