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:

The feces and the urine are the ''kitta'' (non-nutrient portion/waste portion/byproduct) of ingested food. The ''kitta'' of ''rasa'' is ''mala-kapha'' (excretions). ''Mala-pitta'' (bile pigment) is the ''kitta'' of ''rakta''. ''Kha-mala'' (the wastes accumulated in the hollow structures of the body such as external ears and nostrils) are the ''kitta'' of ''mamsa''. ''Sweda'' (sweat) is the ''mala'' of ''medas''. ''Kesha'' (hairs on the head) and ''loma'' (body hair) are the ''mala'' of ''asthi''. The ''mala'' of ''majja'' is the oily excretion of the eye and the skin (sebum). Thus, the ''dhatus'' continuously undergo two kinds of transformation: ''prasada'' (nutrient portion) and ''kitta'' (non-nutrient portion). This entire sequence of transformation and metabolism of ''dhatu'' is thus inter dependent [18-19½]

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).
