Line 88: − 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).+ − − शान्तेऽग्नौ म्रियते, युक्ते चिरं जीवत्यनामयः| − रोगी स्याद्विकृते, मूलमग्निस्तस्मान्निरुच्यते||४|| − − śāntē'gnau mriyatē, yuktē ciraṁ jīvatyanāmayaḥ| − rōgī syādvikr̥tē, mūlamAgnistasmānnirucyatē||4|| − − shAnte~agnau mriyate, yukte ciraM jIvatyanAmayaH| − rogI syAdvikRute, mUlamagnistasmAnnirucyate||4|| − − When the agni stops functioning, the individual dies; if the agni functions normally, the individual can lead a healthy and long life. . 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] − − यदन्नं देहधात्वोजोबलवर्णादिपोषकम्| − तत्राग्निर्हेतुराहारान्न ह्यपक्वाद्रसादयः||५|| − − yadannaṁ dēhadhātvōjōbalavarṇādipōṣakam| − tatrāgnirhēturāhārānna hyapakvādrasādayaḥ||5|| − − yadannaM dehadhAtvojobalavarNAdipoShakam| − tatrAgnirheturAhArAnna hyapakvAdrasAdayaH||5|| − − 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.

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| − आशयाच्च्यवमानस्य पित्तमच्छमुदीर्यते||१०|| − − पक्वाशयं तु प्राप्तस्य शोष्यमाणस्य वह्निना| − परिपिण्डितपक्वस्य वायुः स्यात् कटुभावतः||११|| − − annasya bhuktamātrasya ṣaḍrasasya prapākataḥ| − madhurādyāt kaphō bhāvāt phēnabhūta udīryatē||9|| − − paraṁ tu pacyamānasya vidagdhasyāmlabhāvataḥ| − āśayāccyavamānasya Pittamacchamudīryatē||10|| − − pakvāśayaṁ tu prāptasya śōṣyamāṇasya vahninā| − paripiṇḍitapakvasya Vātaḥ syāt kaṭubhāvataḥ||11|| − − annasya bhuktamAtrasya ShaDrasasya prapAkataH| − madhurAdyAt kapho bhAvAt phenabhUta [4] udIryate||9|| − − paraM tu pacyamAnasya vidagdhasyAmlabhAvataH| − AshayAccyavamAnasya pittamacchamudIryate||10|| − − 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.

(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 ==== − − किट्टमन्नस्य विण्मूत्रं, रसस्य तु कफोऽसृजः| − पित्तं, मांसस्य खमला, मलः स्वेदस्तु मेदसः||१८|| − − स्यात्किट्टं केशलोमास्थ्नो, मज्ज्ञः स्नेहोऽक्षिविट्त्वचाम्| − प्रसादकिट्टे धातूनां पाकादेवंविधर्च्छतः ||१९|| − − परस्परोपसंस्तब्धा धातुस्नेहपरम्परा | − − kiṭṭamannasya viṇmūtraṁ, rasasya tu kaphō'sr̥jaḥ| − Pittaṁ, māṁsasya khamalā, malaḥ svēdastu mēdasaḥ||18|| − − syātkiṭṭaṁ kēśalōmāsthnō, majjñaḥ snēhō'kṣiviṭtvacām| − prasādakiṭṭē dhātūnāṁ pākādēvaṁvidharcchataḥ ||19|| − − parasparōpasaṁstabdhā dhātusnēhaparamparā | − − kiTTamannasya viNmUtraM, rasasya tu kapho~asRujaH| − pittaM, mAMsasya khamalA, malaH svedastu medasaH||18|| − − syAtkiTTaM keshalomAsthno, majj~jaH sneho~akShiviTtvacAm| − prasAdakiTTe dhAtUnAM pAkAdevaMvidharcchataH [4] ||19|| − − parasparopasaMstabdhA dhAtusnehaparamparA [5] | − − 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).

This process of transformation of nourishing portion of the digested food is continuous similar to rotating wheel (21). − Note: Apocryphal verses − Verses from 22 to 35 are available in the text in bracket and Chakrapani has also not offered the commentary on these verses, hence these verses are considered apocryphal. − − (इत्युक्तवन्तमाचार्यं शिष्यस्त्विदमचोदयत्| − रसाद्रक्तं विसदृशात् कथं देहेऽभिजायते||२२|| − − रसस्य च न रागोऽस्ति स कथं याति रक्तताम्| − द्रवाद्रक्तात्स्थिरं मांसं कथं तज्जायते नृणाम्||२३|| − − द्रवधातोः स्थिरान्मांसान्मेदसः सम्भवः कथम्| − श्लक्ष्णाभ्यां मांसमेदोभ्यां खरत्वं कथमस्थिषु||२४|| − − खरेष्वस्थिषु मज्जा च केन स्निग्धो मृदुस्तथा| − मज्ज्ञश्च परिणामेन यदि शुक्रं प्रवर्तते||२५|| − − सर्वदेहगतं शुक्रं प्रवदन्ति मनीषिणः| − तथाऽस्थिमध्यमज्ज्ञश्च शुक्रं भवति देहिनाम्||२६|| − − छिद्रं न दृश्यतेऽस्थ्नां च तन्निःसरति वा कथम्| − − (ityuktavantamācāryaṁ śiṣyastvidamacōdayat| − rasādraktaṁ visadr̥śāt kathaṁ dēhē'bhijāyatē||22|| − − rasasya ca na rāgō'sti sa kathaṁ yāti raktatām| − dravādraktātsthiraṁ māṁsaṁ kathaṁ tajjāyatē nr̥ṇām||23|| − − dravadhātōḥ sthirānmāṁsānmēdasaḥ sambhavaḥ katham| − ślakṣṇābhyāṁ māṁsamēdōbhyāṁ kharatvaṁ kathamasthiṣu||24|| − − kharēṣvasthiṣu majjā ca kēna snigdhō mr̥dustathā| − majjñaśca pariṇāmēna yadi śukraṁ pravartatē||25|| − − sarvadēhagataṁ śukraṁ pravadanti manīṣiṇaḥ| − tathā'sthimadhyamajjñaśca śukraṁ bhavati dēhinām||26|| − − chidraṁ na dr̥śyatē'sthnāṁ ca tanniḥsarati vā katham| − − (ityuktavantamAcAryaM [6] shiShyastvidamacodayat| − rasAdraktaM visadRushAt [7] kathaM dehe~abhijAyate||22|| − − rasasya ca na rAgo~asti sa kathaM yAti raktatAm| − dravAdraktAtsthiraM mAMsaM kathaM tajjAyate nRuNAm||23|| − − dravadhAtoH [8] sthirAnmAMsAnmedasaH sambhavaH katham| − shlakShNAbhyAM mAMsamedobhyAM kharatvaM kathamasthiShu||24|| − − khareShvasthiShu majjA ca kena snigdho mRudustathA| − majj~jashca pariNAmena yadi shukraM pravartate||25|| − − sarvadehagataM shukraM pravadanti manIShiNaH| − − (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?

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.

''Dehagni'' (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 ''dehagni'' [3]
