Depending upon their intensity, ''agnis'' (factors responsible for digestion and metabolism) located in the body of human beings can be classified under four categories, viz. ''tikshna'' (severe), ''manda'' (low), ''sama'' (normal) and ''vishama'' (irregular). The ''tikshna'' type is capable of tolerating all types of irregularities whereas the ''manda'' type is of opposite nature, i.e. even a small irregularity will impair its functioning. The ''sama'' or balanced type of ''agni'' gets impaired even by minor irregularities; it maintains its normalcy so long as there is no irregularity. The irregular type of ''agni'', as opposed to ''sama'' or balanced type, sometimes gets impaired and sometime it does not get impaired by irregularities.

These four types of ''agni'' occur in the four types of individuals. In individuals having ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'' in their balanced and normal state, the ''agnis'' are regular or balanced. In the case of individuals having the dominance of ''vata'' constitution, due to the affliction of the site of ''agni'' by ''vata,'' their ''agnis'' are irregular. In the case of individuals having the dominance of ''pitta'', the ''agnis'' are sharp. Similarly, in the case of individuals having the dominance of ''kapha'' in the constitution, the ''agnis'' are mild due to the affliction of the site of ''agni'' by ''kapha''. [12]
