''Katu vipaka'' impairs ''shukra'' (semen), obstructs (excretion of) faeces and urine and aggravates ''vata''. ''Madhura vipaka'' helps excretion of urine and faeces from the body, increases ''kapha'' and semen. ''Amla vipaka'' aggravates ''pitta'', helps excretion of faeces and urine and damages semen. Amongst them, ''madhura vipaka'' is ''guru'' (heavy) and the other two (''katu'' and ''amla'') ''vipakas'' are ''laghu''. [61-62]

Some hold that there is eight-fold ''veerya'': ''mridu'' (soft), ''tikshna'' (sharp), ''guru'' (heavy), ''laghu'' (light), ''snigdha'' (unctuous), ''ruksha'' (rough), ''ushna'' (hot) and ''sheeta'' (cold) while some opine that there are only two ''veeryas'' : ''sheeta'' (cold) and ''ushna'' (hot). In fact, ''veerya'' (potency) is that which is responsible for each and every action. The substance can exert no action in absence of ''veerya'' and as such (it is concluded that) all actions are exerted due to ''veerya''. [64-65]
