(For instance) just as ''chitraka'' is ''katu'' in ''rasa'' and ''vipaka'' and ''ushna'' in ''veerya'', similar is ''danti'' but the latter is purgative (while the former is not). Poison acts as antidote to poison, here also the cause is ''prabhava''. Likewise, the action of ''urdhwabhagahara'' (emetics) and ''anulomika'' (purgatives) is due to ''prabhava''. Various effects of gems worn (on the body) is also due to ''prabhava'', but their ''prabhava'' is incomprehenisble. Thus, ''vipaka, veerya'' and ''prabhava'' are explained well. Some drug acts by (means of) ''rasa'', other by ''veerya'' and other by ''guna, vipaka'' or ''prabhava''. In case of equality of strength, ''vipaka'' subdues ''rasa, veerya'' subdues both, and ''prabhava'' all these three. These are the natural relative degree of strength. [68-72]
