Satmya (habituation) means that which suits the self. Satmya and upashaya have the same meaning. Based on one’s habitual usage of rasas, satmya could be categorized into three types- superior, inferior and medium/average. The use of all the rasas collectively is considered superior, those that use only one rasa are considered inferior, while all scenarios that lie between these two are considered medium. Effort should be made to gradually move up from the inferior and the medium types of satmya to the superior type. Even if one has achieved the superior satmya, or is habituated of using all the rasas collectively, the individual should strive to abide by the factors of dietetics and nutrition as mentioned in the following verse.

On the other hand, when one eats after the previous meal is well digested, the dosha do not get vitiated or unsettled from their natural locations, agni is stimulated, appetite is increased, entrances of the channels get cleared, eructation is pure, heart is normal, there are natural urges to pass bodily wastes and there is no obstruction to their passage, and the eaten food enhances one’s life without afflicting any dhatu. ||25.4||
