Dehāgni (all the entities in the body that are responsible for digestion and metabolism) is the fundamental causative agent for longevity, normal complexion, normal strength, good health, motivation, normal growth, normal luster, normal ojas, normal body temperature and various other forms of agni. Even the existence of an individual is said to be because of dehāgni (3).

Similarly, if the agni becomes abnormal, the individual suffers from various diseases; and hence, the agni is said to be the root cause of health and longevity (4).

The food one consumes becomes capable of nourishing the body tissues and of promoting the ojas (vital essence), strength, complexion etc., only in the presence of normally functioning agni. In the absence of normal digestion (and metabolism), the normal body tissues such as rasa cannot be formed nor nourished (5).
Process of digestion-first phase:

The ingested food is carried to koshtha by prāṇa vāta. The food disintegrates because of the liquids, and further it becomes soft because of the fatty substances. The samāna vāta, that has an inherent ability to intensify the agni, intensifies the digestive enzymes and properly digests the food that one consumes timely and in an appropriate quantity, thus leading to longevity. This process of digestion by agni in the gut which leads to the formation of rasa and mala is comparable to the process of cooking of the raw rice kept in an earthen vessel containing water on a fire (6-8).
Three states of digestion and provoking dosha:
अन्नस्य भुक्तमात्रस्य षड्रसस्य प्रपाकतः|
मधुराद्यात् कफो भावात् फेनभूत [४] उदीर्यते||९||
परं तु पच्यमानस्य विदग्धस्याम्लभावतः|

pakvAshayaM tu prAptasya shoShyamANasya vahninA|
paripiNDitapakvasya vAyuH syAt kaTubhAvataH||11||
As soon as the food that has all the six tastes is consumed, it undergoes the first stage of digestion known as ‘madhura’ (sweet) state’ during which kapha is produced which is like froth. Afterwards, while the food undergoing digestion is in its partially digested form, it attains ‘amla’ (sour) state.
When the semi digested food leaves the stomach, the release of liquid form of pitta known as ‘accha-pitta’ occurs.
When the pakva part (the non-absorbable remnant part after the absorption of the nutrients), reaches the pakvāśaya (the colon), the drying effect of agni converts it into a solid mass. There also occurs the release of vāta which is ‘kaṭu (pungent)’ state (9-11).
Second phase of digestion by pancha-mahabhuta:
अन्नमिष्टं ह्युपहितमिष्टैर्गन्धादिभिः पृथक्|
देहे प्रीणाति गन्धादीन् घ्राणादीनीन्द्रियाणि च||१२||
annamiṣṭaṁ hyupahitamiṣṭairgandhādibhiḥ pr̥thak|
dēhē prīṇāti gandhādīn ghrāṇādīnīndriyāṇi ca||12||
annamiShTaM hyupahitamiShTairgandhAdibhiH [1] pRuthak|
dehe prINAti gandhAdIn ghrANAdInIndriyANi [2] ca||12||
The food that possesses pleasant smell (taste, appearance, consistency,) etc., nourishes the similar entities in the body such as the sensory organs of smell by gandha etc (e.g. taste, vision, touch etc senses by respective mahabhuta)-(12).
भौमाप्याग्नेयवायव्याः पञ्चोष्माणः सनाभसाः|
पञ्चाहारगुणान्स्वान्स्वान्पार्थिवादीन्पचन्ति हि||१३||
bhaumāpyāgnēyavāyavyāḥ pañcōṣmāṇaḥ sanābhasāḥ|
pañcāhāraguṇānsvānsvānpārthivādīnpacanti hi||13||
bhaumApyAgneyavAyavyAH pa~jcoShmANaH sanAbhasAH|
pa~jcAhAraguNAnsvAnsvAnpArthivAdInpacanti hi||13||
There are five types of agni namely, bhauma, apya, agneya, vāyavya and nābhasa. These 5 bhutagni are one of each mahabhuta transform/metabolize those components of the food that are homologous to them in their composition of structure of human organism. (such as pārthiva, apya etc)-(13).
यथास्वं स्वं च पुष्णन्ति देहे द्रव्यगुणाः पृथक्|
पार्थिवाः पार्थिवानेव शेषाः शेषांश्च कृत्स्नशः||१४||
yathāsvaṁ svaṁ ca puṣṇanti dēhē dravyaguṇāḥ pr̥thak|
pārthivāḥ pārthivānēva śēṣāḥ śēṣāṁśca kr̥tsnaśaḥ||14||
yathAsvaM svaM ca puShNanti dehe dravyaguNAH pRuthak|
pArthivAH pArthivAneva sheShAH sheShAMshca kRutsnashaH||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. This means that pārthiva entities in the body (one that is dominated by pṛthvi mahābhūta in its composition) can be nourished only by the pārthiva substances in the food and so on. The same rule applies to the whole body (14).
Third phase of digestion and metabolism at level of dhatu:
सप्तभिर्देहधातारो धातवो द्विविधं पुनः|
यथास्वमग्निभिः पाकं यान्ति किट्टप्रसादवत् ||१५||
saptabhirdēhadhātārō dhātavō dvividhaṁ punaḥ|
yathāsvamAgnibhiḥ pākaṁ yānti kiṭṭaprasādavat ||15||
saptabhirdehadhAtAro dhAtavo dvividhaM punaH|
yathAsvamagnibhiH pAkaM yAnti kiTTaprasAdavat [1] ||15||
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).
रसाद्रक्तं ततो मांसं मांसान्मेदस्ततोऽस्थि च|
अस्थ्नो मज्जा ततः शुक्रं शुक्राद्गर्भः प्रसादजः||१६||
rasādraktaṁ tatō māṁsaṁ māṁsānmēdastatō'sthi ca|
asthnō majjā tataḥ śukraṁ śukrādgarbhaḥ prasādajaḥ||16||
rasAdraktaM tato mAMsaM mAMsAnmedastato~asthi ca|
asthno majjA tataH shukraM shukrAdgarbhaH prasAdajaH||16||
Rakta is produced after rasa and then māṃsa. After māṃsa the medas is formed and then asthi is produced. After asthi the majjā is derived and then shukra is produced and finally fine shukra leads to garbha (16).
Upadhatu (metabolic products):
रसात् स्तन्यं ततो रक्तमसृजः कण्डराः सिराः|
मांसाद्वसा त्वचः षट् च मेदसः स्नायुसम्भवः||१७||
rasāt stanyaṁ tatō raktamasr̥jaḥ kaṇḍarāḥ sirāḥ|
māṁsādvasā tvacaḥ ṣaṭ ca mēdasaḥ snāyusambhavaḥ ||17||
rasAt stanyaM tato [2] raktamasRujaH kaNDarAH sirAH|
mAMsAdvasA tvacaH ShaT ca medasaH snAyusambhavaH [3] ||17||
Stanya (breast milk) and the menstrual blood are derived after rasa. Kaṇḍarā (tendon) and sirā(vein) are derived after rakta. Vasā(fat) and the six layers of tvachā (skin) are derived after māṃsa (muscle) and snāyu(ligament) are derived after medas (adipose tissue) (17).
Mala formed at tissue level metabolism:

पित्तं, मांसस्य खमला, मलः स्वेदस्तु मेदसः||१८||

The faeces and the urine are the kiṭṭa (non-nutrient portion/waste portion/byproduct) of ingested food. The kiṭṭa of rasa is mala-kapha (excretions). Mala-pitta (bile pigment) is the kiṭṭa of rakta. Kha-mala (the wastes accumulated in the hollow structures of the body such as external ears and nostrils) are the kiṭṭa of māṃsa. Sweda (sweat) is the mala of medas. Keśa (hairs on the head) and loma (body hair) are the mala of asthi. The mala of majjā is the oily excretion of the eye and the skin (sebum). Thus, the dhātus continuously undergo two kinds of transformation: prasāda (nutrient portion) and kiṭṭa (non-nutrient portion). This entire sequence of transformation and metabolism of dhātu is thus inter dependent (18-19½ ).
Modes of transformation:
वृष्यादीनां प्रभावस्तु पुष्णाति बलमाशु हि||२०||
vr̥ṣyādīnāṁ prabhāvastu puṣṇāti balamāśu hi||20||
vRuShyAdInAM prabhAvastu puShNAti balamAshu hi||20||
Vṛśya substance (the substance that promotes sexual vigor) nourishes the shukra immediately due to its specific influencial effect (prabhāva). (20).
षड्भिः केचिदहोरात्रैरिच्छन्ति परिवर्तनम्|
सन्तत्या भोज्यधातूनां परिवृत्तिस्तु चक्रवत्||२१||
ṣaḍbhiḥ kēcidahōrātrairicchanti parivartanam|

ShaDbhiH kecidahorAtrairicchanti parivartanam|
santatyA bhojyadhAtUnAM parivRuttistu cakravat||21||
Some scholars believe that the conversion of rasa up to shukra occurs in a span of six days and six nights. This process of transformation of nourishing portion of the digested food is continuous similar to rotating wheel (21).

(After listening to the above explanation by his teacher, the student asked the following doubt:
How is it that rakta is formed in the body out of rasa, though being different from it? rasa is in fact colorless, and how does it attain the red color of rakta? How is it that a solid structure such as māṃsa is formed out of rakta which is a fluid by its nature? How is it that, again, from the māṃsa, which is solid, a fluid substance such as meda is formed? How is it that a rough asthi is formed out of smooth structures such as māṃsa and meda? How does the soft and fatty majjā form out of rough structures such as asthi? If at all shukra, which is present everywhere in the body is formed out of majjā that is located inside the asthi, how does it come out as one cannot see pores on asthi? (22-26).
Formation of rasa and rakta:

After listening to the query raised by the student, the teacher replied as follows:
The nourishment fluid formed, known as rasa, undergoes transformation by the uṣmā (heat) of pitta and gets converted into the red colored tissue known as rakta (27-28).

Due to the action of heat along with the vāta, aṃbu (water) and tejas, the rakta is converted into stable māṃsa, after being acted upon by its own agni (māṃsadhātvagni)-(29).
Formation of meda dhatu:
स्वतेजोऽम्बुगुणस्निग्धोद्रिक्तं मेदोऽभिजायते|
svatējō'mbuguṇasnigdhōdriktaṁ mēdō'bhijāyatē|
svatejo~ambuguNasnigdhodriktaM medo~abhijAyate|
Because of the action of medo-dhātvāgni on the excessively dominant snigdha attribute of aṃbu, the medo dhātu is formed (29½).
Formation of asthi dhatu:
पृथिव्यग्न्यनिलादीनां सङ्घातः स्वोष्मणा कृतः||३०||
खरत्वं प्रकरोत्यस्य जायतेऽस्थि ततो नृणाम्|
pr̥thivyagnyanilādīnāṁ saṅghātaḥ svōṣmaṇā kr̥taḥ||30||

pRuthivyagnyanilAdInAM sa~gghAtaH svoShmaNA [10] kRutaH||30||
kharatvaM prakarotyasya jAyate~asthi tato nRuNAm|
Because of the action of asthi dhātvāgni on the aggregation of pṛthvi, agni and anila, roughness is attained during the formation of the asthi (30).
Formation of majja dhatu:
करोति तत्र सौषिर्यमस्थ्नां मध्ये समीरणः||३१||
मेदसस्तानि पूर्यन्ते स्नेहो मज्जा ततः स्मृतः|
karōti tatra sauṣiryamasthnāṁ madhyē samīraṇaḥ||31||

karoti tatra sauShiryamasthnAM madhye samIraNaH||31||
medasastAni pUryante sneho majjA tataH smRutaH|
Vāta produces hollowness inside the asthi dhātu, and after which, these hollow cavities get filled up by fatty tissue which is known as majjā (31).
Formation of shukra dhatu:
तस्मान्मज्ज्ञस्तु यः स्नेहः शुक्रं सञ्जायते ततः||३२||
वाय्वाकाशादिभिर्भावैः सौषिर्यं जायतेऽस्थिषु|

The sneha (fatty) portion of majjā produces shukra. The porosity in the asthi is produced because of the factors such as vāta and akāśa. Shukra comes out of asthi through these pores just as the water comes out of a new earthen vessel. Through the channels known as shukravaha srotāṃsi, this shukra spreads all over the body. This shukra is discharged through the urethra (which is connected to the urinary bladder) because of several factors such as sexual excitation, reflex activities (vega), and mental determination (saṃkalpa). Just as the ghee moves out with ease when heated, the shukra too, is discharged due to the heat liberated during the sexual activity. This process of seminal discharge is comparable with the movement of water from a place of lower altitude to a place of higher altitude)-(32-35).
Continous circulation of rasa all over the body:
व्यानेन रसधातुर्हि विक्षेपोचितकर्मणा|
युगपत् सर्वतोऽजस्रं देहे विक्षिप्यते सदा||३६||
vyānēna rasadhāturhi vikṣēpōcitakarmaṇā|
yugapat sarvatō'jasraṁ dēhē vikṣipyatē sadā||36||
vyAnena rasadhAturhi vikShepocitakarmaNA|
yugapat sarvato~ajasraM dehe vikShipyate sadA||36||
Because of being forcefully propelled (out of the heart) by the action of vyāna vāta, the rasa dhātu spreads all over the body simultaneously, continuously and for the entire life (36).
Kha-Vaigunya (abnormality in body system) is responsible for the disease state:
क्षिप्यमाणः खवैगुण्याद्रसः सज्जति यत्र सः|
करोति विकृतिं तत्र खे वर्षमिव तोयदः||३७||
kṣipyamāṇaḥ khavaiguṇyādrasaḥ sajjati yatra saḥ|
karōti vikr̥tiṁ tatra khē varṣamiva tōyadaḥ||37||
kShipyamANaH khavaiguNyAdrasaH sajjati yatra saH|
karoti [12] vikRutiM tatra khe varShamiva toyadaH||37||
Wherever the rasa experiences obstacle due to abnormality in srotas, rasa readily produces disease in that very same location. This process is comparable with that of the clouds producing rainfall in a localized region that is favorable for rainfall (37).
दोषाणामपि चैवं स्यादेकदेशप्रकोपणम् |
dōṣāṇāmapi caivaṁ syādēkadēśaprakōpaṇam |
doShANAmapi caivaM syAdekadeshaprakopaNam [13] |
This principle is applicable even in case of doṣha, where ekadeśa prakopa (abnormal increase at a local site) occurs (37½).

iti bhautikadhātvannapaktr̥̄ṇāṁ karma bhāṣitam||38||

Thus ends the description of the physiological functions of bhūtāgni, dhātvāgni and jaṭharāgni (38).
Significance of jatharagni:

Jaṭharāgni is known as the King among all the forms of agni. The intensification and diminution of all other forms of agni is in fact dependent on jaṭharāgni (39).
तस्मात्तं विधिवद्युक्तैरन्नपानेन्धनैर्हितैः|

pAlayet prayatastasya sthitau hyayurbalasthitiH||40||
An individual should take utmost care to maintain the agni by providing fuel in the form of food and drinks which should be taken as per the rules mentioned, because life and strength of an individual depends on agni (40).
Initiation of grahani dosha:
यो हि भुङ्क्ते विधिं त्याक्त्वा ग्रहणीदोषजान् गदान्|
स लौल्याल्लभते शीघ्रं, वक्ष्यन्तेऽतः परं तु ते||४१||
yō hi bhuṅktē vidhiṁ tyāktvā Grahaṇī dōṣajān gadān|

yo hi bhu~gkte vidhiM tyAktvA grahaNIdoShajAn gadAn|
sa laulyAllabhate shIghraM, vakShyante~ataH paraM tu te||41||
If an individual indulges in food without following the rules and regulation of diet intake, then he quickly suffers from diseases caused by the vitiation of grahani because of his greedy habits. Such diseases are being described henceforth (41).

Excessive starvation, indulging in food intake although there is indigestion, overeating, irregular habit of eating, eating unwholesome food, indulging in food which is heavy to digest or having excessive nutritional value, food which is having cold qualities or eating chilled or frozen items, food which is dry in nature or food which brings about emaciation, contaminated food, perversion of procedures like vāman, virechan and sneha, emaciation of body due to disease, sudden migration to unsuitable place and of time and of season, suppression of natural urges are causes for vitiation of agni. Thus, vitiated agni is unable to digest even the light food. (42-43)
This vitiated digestive agent forms an intermediate substance called ama, which turns sour (shukta) during fermentation and finaly turns in poisonous substance (amavisha) (44).

This poisonous substance (amavisha) manifests clinical features like flatulence, discomfortable physical and mental miseries, headache, altered connsciousness, giddiness, stiffness of back and lumbar region, yawning, bodyache, malaise, morbid thirst, fever, vomiting, tenesmus, anorexia and indigestion and it is similar to antigenic poison. (45-46).

The annaviṣa when associated with pitta causes dāha, morbid thirst, oral diseases, amlapitta (acid peptic disorders) and various other pitta related disorders.
The same annaviṣa when gets associated with kapha it leads to condition like yakshma (pthiasis), pīnas (coryza) and prameha (20 types of diabetes) and various other kaphaja disorders, whereas several vātika disease are caused by association of vāta with the annaviṣa.
The annaviṣa when enters renal system, urine related disorders occur; similarly, kukshigata roga (ailments related to abdomen) have their origin when sakṛta (feces) is involved. Rasādi pradōṣaja vikāra (tissue related ailments) occur when rasādi srotas are involved (47-49).
Effects of Vishāmagni (irregular agni) and tīkṣṇāgni( excessive agni):
विषमो धातुवैषम्यं करोति विषमं पचन्|
तीक्ष्णो मन्देन्धनो धातून् विशोषयति पावकः||५०||
viṣamō dhātuvaiṣamyaṁ karōti viṣāmaṁ pacan|
tīkṣṇō mandēndhanō dhātūn viśōṣayati pāvakaḥ||50||
viShamo dhAtuvaiShamyaM karoti viShamaM pacan|
tIkShNo mandendhano dhAtUn vishoShayati pAvakaH||50||
The vishāmagni (improper agni) causes irregularity in digestion and therefore defective formation of dhātu takes place whereas, tīkṣṇāgni (excessive agni) when associated with little quantity of fuel (in the form of food) causes depletion of dhātu (tissue elements) (50).
Samāgni:
युक्तं भुक्तवतो युक्तो धातुसाम्यं समं पचन्|
yuktaṁ bhuktavatō yuktō dhātusāmyaṁ sāmaṁ pacan|
yuktaM bhuktavato yukto dhAtusAmyaM samaM pacan|
If agni is sama i.e. in balanced condition and correct diet regimen (as explained in Ca. Su. 5 and Ca.Vi.1/21) are also followed then there is proper digestion of food which helps in maintaining proper balance within the dhātu (50½).
Durbala (weak) agni:
दुर्बलो विदहत्यन्नं तद्यात्यूर्ध्वमधोऽपि वा||५१||
durbalō vidahatyannaṁ tadyātyūrdhvāmadhō'pi vā||51||
durbalo vidahatyannaM tadyAtyUrdhvamadho~api vA||51||
Durbala (weak) agni brings about partial digestion of food. These partially digested bio substances then enter in circulation, which may move either in upward or downward direction (51).

When partially digested and partially undigested bio substances moves downward in gastrointestinal tract it produces a disorder known as grahaṇīgada. In this particular stage the entire food material remains in the state of vidagdha state (partially transformed/sour).
In this condition the individual may pass stools in excessive quantity or frequency wherein stools may be loose, with thin consistency or in the form of pellety stools/bound stools (vibaddham) and morbid thirst, anorexia, distaste, excessive watering of mouth, blackout, edema of legs and hands, pain in bones and finger joints, vomiting, fever, eructation having either metallic smell or undigested food and having bitter or sour taste are observed (52-54).
Premonitory symptoms of Grahaṇī gada:
पूर्वरूपं तु तस्येदं तृष्णाऽऽलस्यं बलक्षयः|
विदाहोऽन्नस्य पाकश्च चिरात् कायस्य गौरवम्||५५||
pūrvarūpaṁ tu tasyēdaṁ tr̥ṣṇā''lasyaṁ balakṣayaḥ|

Premonitory signs and symptoms are thirst, malaise, diminution of strength, burning sensation; delay in digestion and heaviness in body (55).

Grahaṇī is seat of agni and it is so called since it holds/retains the food (for proper digestion and assimilation). It holds the food just above the umbilical region and it is supported and nourished by the agni. Grahaṇī with help of agni holds the undigested food and pushes forward digested food, but when agni becomes weak and vitiated due to vidagdha ahara murchita dōṣha (afflicted by improperly digested food) i.e sāma dōṣha(dosha associated with ama) it vitiates the grahaṇī and releases food in the form of ama i.e. undigested form (56-57).
Four types of grahaṇī disease:

Grahaṇī disease is classified into four types viz vātaja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipātaja. On the basis of the classification, etiological factors, symptoms and signs are being mentioned one by one (58).
Causes of vātaja grahaṇī:

Excessive indulgence in diet having kaṭu (pungent), tikta (bitter), kaṣāya (astringent) dominant food, which is dry in nature or having absorptive or emciative qualities; cold, chilled or frozen items, eating quantitatively less amount of food, suppression of natural urges and excessive sexual intercourse contribute to aggravation of vāta dōṣha which encompass the agni causing suppression of agni (59½).

Symptoms of vātika grahani are as follow:
Food is not easily digested and gets fermented (leading to sourness), roughness of skin, dryness of throat and mouth, craving for food and thirst is increased, timira (blurred vision), tinnitus, continuous pain in flanks, thighs, pelvis, neck region, visūchikā (piercing pain all over the body with vomiting and diarhea), chest pain/discomfort in cardiac region, emaciation, weakness, distaste, cutting pain, craving for sweets, sour and saline food (madhurādi rasa), reduced mental strength, adhmāna (distention of abdomen) occurs during digestion and after completion of digestion whereas the patient feels abdominal comfort just after eating the food.
Patient expresses repeated doubts that he is suffering from vātika disorders, gulma (abdominal tumor), heart disease and splenomegaly.
Stools are evacuated with difficulty and consume time. Feces are either watery, dry, small sized associated with flatus and undigested food. Frequency of stool is increased and patient may suffer from cough and breathing difficulty (60-64).
Causes of pāittika grahaṇī:

Kaṭu (spicy), ajīrṇa (undigestable food), vidāhi (food causing eructation), amla (sour), kṣāra (alkali) and other food items which aggravate pitta are causes for pittaja grahaṇī. The aggravated pitta hampers the function of agni similar to condition wherein hot water extinguishes fire (65).

The stools have undigested food particles having either bluish-yellowish tinge or yellow in colour and are loose/watery. The eructions have foul smell and sour taste, there is burning sensation in the cardiac region (retro sternal) and throat, anorexia and thirst are the symptoms of pittaja grahaṇī (66).
Causes of kaphaja grahaṇī:

Heavy to digest or excessively unctuous foods, frozen or chilled items or food having cold nature or food which has qualities similar to kapha, excessive intake of food and sleeping just after the meals hamper the function of agni and simultaneously vitiates kapha (67).
Symptoms of kaphaja grahaṇī:

Four types of agni have been previously explained in Rōgānīkē Adhyāya [Ca. Vi. 6/12]. Except samāgni other three types of agni contribute to the grahaṇīdōṣa (71).
Sannipätaja grahaṇī:

Sannipätaja grahaṇī occurs by simultaneous vitiation of vāta, pitta and kapha. In such conditions etiological factors, symptoms and signs are of all the three dōṣha appear. Hereafter treatment of grahaṇīdōṣha is expounded (72).
Vamana in grahaṇīdōṣha:

When the dōṣhas are located in grahaṇī and are associated with incomplete digested food then viṣṭambha (constipation), excessive salivation, bodyache, burning sensation, anorexia and heaviness is felt by patient which are symptoms of ama and in such a condition vamana (emetic therapy) with lukewarm water or with decoction of madanphala (Randia spinosa), pippalī (Piper longum) and sarshapa (Brassica campestris) should be administered (73-74).
Treatment of līna dōṣha:
लीनं पक्वाशयस्थं वाऽऽप्यामं स्राव्यं सदीपनैः|
शरीरानुगते सामे रसे लङ्घनपाचनम्||७५||
līnaṁ pakvāśayasthaṁ vā''pyāmaṁ srāvyaṁ sadīpanaiḥ|

lInaM pakvAshayasthaM vA~a~apyAmaM srAvyaM sadIpanaiH|
sharIrAnugate sAme rase la~gghanapAcanam||75||
If the ama is in pakvāśaya and in anutkliṣṭa (stuck, not ready to come out) condition then stravan (increasing secretion) with dīpana dravyas should be administered whereas if ama gets absorbed along with rasa dhātu and if it pervades throughout the body then laṅghana and pāchana should be advised (75).
Pañcakōlādi sr̥tam peyā:
विशुद्धामाशयायास्मै पञ्चकोलादिभिः शृतम्|
दद्यात् पेयादि लघ्वन्नं पुनर्योगांश्च दीपनान्||७६||

vishuddhAmAshayAyAsmai pa~jcakolAdibhiH shRutam|
dadyAt peyAdi laghvannaM punaryogAMshca dIpanAn||76||
After cleansing of amāśhaya, liquid gruel of rice (peyā) fortified with panchakola etc. drugs should be administered. Light and easy to digest food along with dīpana drugs may be given (76).
ज्ञात्वा तु परिपक्वामं मारुतग्रहणीगदम्|

j~jAtvA tu paripakvAmaM mArutagrahaNIgadam|
dIpanIyayutaM sarpiH pAyayetAlpasho bhiShak||77||
In patients with vātaja grahaṇī after ascertaining that ama is digested, medicated ghee starting with very minimum quantity prepared from dīpanīya gana be administered [Ca.Su.4/9/6]- (77).
Nirūha basti:
किञ्चित्सन्धुक्षिते त्वग्नौ सक्तविण्मूत्रमारुतम्|
द्व्यहं त्र्यहं वा संस्नेह्य स्विन्नाभ्यक्तं निरूहयेत्||७८||

dvyahaM tryahaM vA saMsnehya svinnAbhyaktaM nirUhayet||78||
As stimulation of agni is observed and still if patient finds difficulty in passing stool, urine and flatus then in such condition every two or three days nirūha basti should be administered after proper snehan and swedana (78).
Virechana:
तत एरण्डतैलेन सर्पिषा तैल्वकेन वा|
सक्षारेणानिले शान्ते स्रस्तदोषं विरेचयेत्||७९||
tata ēraṇḍatailēna sarpiṣā tailvakēna vā|

tata eraNDatailena sarpiShA tailvakena vA|
sakShAreNAnile shAnte srastadoShaM virecayet||79||
After nirūha, the strasta dōṣha (dōṣha ready to come out) should be cleaned with purgative drugs like eranda taila (castor oil) or tilvaka ghr̥ita mixed with kṣāra (medicine with alkaline nature) (79).
Anuvasana basti:
शुद्धं रूक्षाशयं बद्धवर्चसं चानुवासयेत्|
दीपनीयाम्लवातघ्नसिद्धातैलेन मात्रया||८०||
śuddhaṁ rūkṣāśayaṁ baddhavarcasaṁ cānuvāsayēt|

shuddhaM rUkShAshayaM baddhavarcasaM cAnuvAsayet|
dIpanIyAmlavAtaghnasiddhAtailena mAtrayA||80||
After śhodhana of intestine if rūkṣātā and baddha (pellety) stools are seen then anuvāsana basti with taila fortified with dīpana drugs having sour and vāta alleviating action may be administered (80).
निरूढं च विरिक्तं च सम्यक् चैवानुवासितम्|
लघ्वन्नं प्रतिसम्भुक्तं सर्पिरभ्यासयेत् पुनः||८१||
nirūḍhaṁ ca viriktaṁ ca samyak caivānuvāsitam|

nirUDhaM ca viriktaM ca samyak caivAnuvAsitam|
laghvannaM pratisambhuktaM sarpirabhyAsayet punaH||81||
After appropriate administration of nirūha, virechan and anuvāsana, light diet should be taken daily and ghee should be taken repeatedly (81).

Buttermilk due to its dīpana, grāhi (substances which increases appetite and digestive power and absorb fluid from the stool) and easy to digest actions is very useful in grahaṇīdōṣha. It is madhura in vipāka therefore reduces pitta; due to kaṣāya (astringent) taste, uṣṇa virya (hot potency), vikāśi and ruksha guna it is useful in kapha dominated disorders and due to madhura and amla rasa, sāndra guna it reduces vāta. Freshly churned butter milk does not cause burning sensation; therefore, buttermilk is very useful in treatment of udara, arśa and all grahaṇīdōṣha (117-119).

In tridōṣaja grahaṇī, panchakarma should be carried out as per predominancy of doṣha. Various ghee, kṣāra, asava and ariṣṭa preparation useful in stimulation of agni should be administered. Previously described line of treatment for vātaja etc grahaṇī should be accordingly followed. This line of treatment should be done either separately or jointly after finding the predominancy of doṣha (194-195).

Henceforth treatment as per condition is being mentioned.
In kaphaja grahaṇī if there is excess sputum, then rūkṣa (ununctuous) and dīpana drugs having bitter taste should be administered (198).

parIkShyAmaM sharIrasya dIpanaM snehasaMyutam||199||
If patient is weak, but kapha is excessive then alternately un-unctous and unctuous therapies should be administered repeatedly. After complete examination; if pāchana of ama has taken place than administer ghee fortified by dīpaniya medicines (199)
दीपनं बहुपित्तस्य तिक्तं मधुरसंयुतम्|

If pitta is aggravated then dīpana drugs having bitter taste along with medicines having sweet taste should be administered whereas if vāta is aggravated then dīpaniya drugs alongwith snēha, lavana and amla dominated drugs should be administered (200).

Proper management as mentioned in earlier verses stimulates the agni (digestive power). Sneha is the best among the dipana dravya which helps in stimulating the inefficient agni (201).

If the patient has inefficient digestive power and voids undigested food in excess in stools or frequency of motions is more, then appropriate quantity of ghr̥ita fortified by dīpana medicines should again be given. Thus, samāna vāta is regularized and moves in its normal tract. As samāna vāta is associated with agni it instantaneously promotes the strength of agni. Digestive power thus stimulated by ghr̥ita cannot be suppressed even by heavy meals (202-203).

If patient finds difficulty in evacuation of stools due to hardness in stools then salt mixed ghr̥ita should be administered in between the food.
(Note:Lavana rasa has vāta anuloman action and also increases secretions, therefore hardness of stool is reduced and stools are easily evacuated) (204).

If agni is suppressed due to rūkṣa guna then either ghr̥ita or taila fortified with dīpaniya drugs should be administered (205).

bhinne gudopalepAttu male tailasurAsavAH||206||
If excessive intake of snēha is cause for agnimāndya then powder preparation, ariṣṭa asava as mentioned earlier are beneficial; whereas if anal area gets adhered by unformed stools then taila, surā and asavā preparation should be administered (206).
उदावर्तात्तु मन्देऽग्नौ निरूहाः स्नेहबस्तयः|

doShavRuddhyA tu mande~agnau shuddho doShavidhiM caret||207||
If udavarta (mis-peristalsis) is responsible for suppression of agni then nirūha and snēha basti should be administered; whereas if dōṣha vr̥iddhi is the cause for suppression of agni then shodhana as per dōṣha is indicated (207).

If suppression of agni has taken place due to diseases than ghr̥ita is best for agni dīpana but if fasting is the causes of agni suppression than yavāgū (gruel) along with ghr̥ita should be taken. Ghr̥ita when taken in between the meal, it increases the strength, stimulates the digestion and nourishes the body (208).

If agnimāndya has been chronic and patient has become indolent, weak and emaciated then soup of prasahā group of animals (animals who snatch their food) fortified with amla drugs is advised. As this meat soups are light for digestion having penetrating, hot, purifying qualities stimulates the agni. Further as the animals feed on other animals their meat māṁsa is well nourished and compact therefore causes quick nourishment (209-210).
Factors affecting status of agni:
नाभोजनेन कायाग्निर्दीप्यते नातिभोजनात्||२११||

Fasting or over eating doesn’t stimulate agni, as like fire in environment is extinguished if there is no fuel supply or if excessive fuel covers the agni. (211).

Proper intake of snēha, followed by eating proper food preparations as well as appropriate use of various chūrṇa, ariṣṭa, surā and asava alongwith proper medication as per condition, enhances the power of agni similar to the environmental fire which remains stable for long duration when good hard wood catches fire (212-213).

Intake of food mixed with snēha and as per dietetic rules and regulation stabilizes the digestive power. Eating wholesome diet in appropriate quantity after previously eaten food is digested helps in maintaining good health for long duration.
A person should workout so that agni vr̥iddhi takes place without disturbing the balance of dhātus. Such agni digests the food, maintains health and nourishment, promotes longevity and increases strength. The same doṣha when vitiated causes mandāgni, tikshnāgni and vishamāgni and such a vitiated agni gives rise to various diseases. Management of mandāgni has been explained previously henceforth management of ativr̥ddha agni will be explained (214-216).

Person having diminished kapha, aggravated pitta and associated vāta leads to increase in the ushma of agni resulting in enhancing the capacity and power of agni. In such patient if the body is already undernourished, vāta increases which further strengths the agni wherein both, together with help of tikshna guna digests the food even if taken frequently. After digestion of food, the increased agni starts digesting rakta etc dhātus also (217-219).

Consequently, the patient becomes weak and death may occur due to disease. The patient feels better on consuming the food but feels worn out alongwith blackouts when food is digested. Morbid thirst, dyspnoea, burning sensation, fainting etc are observed in disease caused due to atyāgni.
Digestive power can be pacified by taking foods and drinks which are heavy to digest, unctuous, cold, sweet and liquid same way as fire is extinguishes by water in nature. The patient should be administered food at regular interval although previously eaten meal is undigested so that atyāgni due to lack of fuel does not digest the tissues (220-222).

The patient should take ghr̥ita with beeswax alongwith cold water as anupana. Patient may take wheat flour with milk and ghee.
Patient may be advised to take three sneha i.e. ghee, abinal fat, bonemarrow fortified with meat soup of animals residing in marshy areas. Milk mixed with wheat flour and curd alongwith three snēha (ghr̥ita, vasa, majja) may be given. Bark of udumbara mixed with human milk and milk pudding prepared from udumbara and human milk helps in pacifying the atyāgni (228-230).

Foods which are sweet in taste, fatty, increases kapha and heavy to digest should be given. All food items are good for atyāgni and sleeping after meals during day time is beneficial in atyāgni. Patient who takes fatty diet even though he is not hungry does not succumb to death. If he is suffering from atyāgni on the other hand such diet pattern is nutritional. Whenever due to medication and diet, kapha is increased; it subdues pitta and vāta and normalizes the agni.
When dhātus are in equilibrium anna gets digested resulting in increase in nutrition, longevity and strength (232-234).
Improper dietary habits:

Taking of wholesome and unwholesome foods together in diet is known as samaśana.
Viṣamaśana is defined as taking food either in excess quantity or very little quantity and also if taken before or after appropriate time.
Adhyaśana is having food even though previously eaten food is not yet digested.
All the above three are causes for death or give rise to serious disorders (235-236).

If morning eaten food is undigested and still if anyone takes evening food it may not be more vitiative since in day time all the srotas (channels) are dilated and heart is active similar to the lotus which blossoms with sunrise. During daytime, exercise, other physical and mental activities (cause heart to pump blood properly to) prevent the genesis of kleda (excess moisture) in various dhātus (237-239).

As unspoiled milk when mixed with fresh milk, the mixture does not get spoiled and will get uniformly mixed, so is the condition when in daytime previously eaten food although not digested still a person can digest another meal (240).

In the night, the channels are closed, so is the heart which functions at slow rate as demand is less, the apakva ahāra rasa increases in viscosity; thus ama adheres to the dhātus and if another food is taken the indigestion causes more apakva ahāra rasa causing disease. The condition resembles, wherein uncooked milk mixed with warm milk gets spoiled. Therefore, a wise person should not take meals if food taken at night is not digested; this will surely effect strength and life of a person (241-243).
