Hereafter, I will describe the characters of the six rasas. Madhura rasa is known by its actions – unction, pleasure, exhilaration and softening. While in mouth, it pervades and as if making a coating there.  

 

If, after putting in mouth, the teeth become sensitive, or if there is salivation, sweating,  gustatory sensations and burning in mouth and throat, that should be labelled as amla rasa.  

Hereafter, I will describe the characters of the six ''rasas''. ''Madhura rasa'' is known by its actions – unction, pleasure, exhilaration and softening. While in mouth, it pervades and as if making a coating there.  

Lavana rasa is dissolved quickly and produces moistening, watering, softening and burning in mouth.

That which, on contact, irritates and produces piercing pain in tongue and simulate secretions with burning from mouth, nose and eyes is pungent.  

That which, on contact, irritates and produces piercing pain in tongue and simulate secretions with burning from mouth, nose and eyes is pungent.  

That which, on contact with tongue, destroys all other gustatory perceptions so that no other taste is perceived and also gives rise to non-sliminess and dryness in mouth, alongwith cheerfulness, is tikta (rasa).  

 

Kashaya is that which produces non-sliminess, stiffness and insensibility in tongue, as if choking the throat and is also vikasi in nature. [73-79]

That which, on contact with tongue, destroys all other gustatory perceptions so that no other taste is perceived and also gives rise to non-sliminess and dryness in mouth, along with cheerfulness, is ''tikta'' (''rasa'').  

 

''Kashaya'' is that which produces non-sliminess, stiffness and insensibility in tongue, as if choking the throat and is also ''vikasi''in nature. [73-79]

Lord Atreya addressed to him – the substances which are contrary to deha-dhatus behave with virodha (antagonism) to them. This antagonism may be in terms of properties, combination, processing, place, time, dose etc. or natural composition. [81]

Amongst them, I will mention the incompatible (vairodhika) food which is mostly used, such as, one should not take fish with milk. Both of them are having madhura (rasa). Madhura vipaka, mahabhishyandi (great obstructor of the channels), because milk is sheeta and fish is ushna which is viruddhavÍrya (antagonistic in terms of veerya), due to conflicting veeryas, it vitiates blood and due to being mahabhishyandi, creates obstruction in channels.

Having heard the statement of Atreya, Bhadrakapya said to Agnivesha, “one may take all types of fish alongwith milk except only one - chilchima. That scaly, red-eyed, with alround red strips, having shape like that of rohita often moves on land. If one takes it along with milk, he undoubtedly becomes victim of one of the disorders of rakta (blood) or vibandha (constipation) or death”. [83]
