And now we define the various groups of animals listed above. The first are the “tearers”. The creatures that eat their food by rending or tearing – using their horns, claws, or talons -  are known as tearers or of the tearer group of creatures. Those that dwell beneath the ground are called burrowing creatures. Those that dwell in wetlands or marshy lands are known as wetland creatures. Owing to their living in water, some creatures are known as aquatic creatures or water dwellers. Those that move about in water as well as land are known as water-roamers or amphibious creatures. Those (antelopes) that dwell and roam in the jungles are known as ''jangala'' creatures. Those that scatter food with their claws and pick them up are known as gallinaceous birds and those that peck at their food are called peckers. These are the eight varieties of sources of flesh. [53-55]

The tearer, the burrower, the wetland, the aquatic and the amphibious— these five groups are heavy, hot, unctuous, sweet and these enhance strength and obesity. They are also aphrodisiacs and are very effective against ''vata'' while greatly aggravating ''kapha'' and ''pitta''. They are wholesome to individuals who exercise daily and whose digestive fire is strong. [56-60]

Now the general qualities of the quail and bustard families of gallinaceous birds, the pecker class of birds, and the ''jangala'' antelopes. The flesh of the common quail family of gallinaceous birds, pecker family of birds and ''jangala'' animals is light, cold in potency, sweet, and slightly astringent in taste and is beneficial to those who suffer from vitiation of three ''doshas'' in which ''pitta'' is predominant, ''vata'' is moderate and ''kapha'' is relatively less aggravated. The flesh of the gallinaceous birds of the bustard family, however differs slightly in action from that of the flesh of the tearer group and therefore is called out separately. [59-60]
