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).

''Grahani'' 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''. ''Grahani'' 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 dosha'' (afflicted by improperly digested food) i.e ''sama dosha''(''dosha'' associated with ''ama'') it vitiates the ''grahani'' and releases food in the form of ''ama'' i.e. undigested form [56-57]
