| Specific categories of entities in the body having specific attributes can be nourished by only those substances that belong to the same category having those same attributes. This means that ''parthiva'' entities in the body (one that is dominated by ''prithvi mahabhuta'' in its composition) can be nourished only by the ''parthiva'' substances in the food and so on. The same rule applies to the whole body [14] | | Specific categories of entities in the body having specific attributes can be nourished by only those substances that belong to the same category having those same attributes.

− | Further, the seven components that sustain the body, known as dhātu (tissues), are metabolized/transformed into two kinds of products known as sāra (nutrition) and kiṭṭa (waste). This process is the function of seven specific entities known as dhātvāgni; each dhātvāgni is specific for its corresponding dhātu (15). | + | |
