Dravya is classified into two types: rasa pradhana (dominated by [[Rasa|rasa]]) and veerya- pradhana (dominated by veerya). [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 2/17] The dietary items (ahara dravya) are considered rasa pradhana, while medicines (aushadha) are deemed to be veerya pradhana. The aushadha are again divided into three types based on veerya, namely mild (mrudu veerya), moderate (madhyama veerya) and sharply acting (teekshna veerya) [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 2/17]. This can be summarised in the table given below:

These are also termed as [[Guna|guna]] possessing veerya like properties or [[Guna|guna]] named as veerya i.e. veeryakhya guna. Sushruta Samhita mentions the vishada and pichchhila guna in place of guru and laghu guna while stating the veerya. [Su.Sa.

The assessment of the gurvadi guna as type of veerya can be studied through the effect they depict on the metabolism of body and body tissues. Qualitative assessment through the means of questionnaires or interviews is more commonly done recently. Amongst the 20 [[Guna|guna]], snigdha (unctuous) and ruksha (dryness) guna are more extensively studied. For instance, sneha guna is assessed by determining the presence of snidghata or oiliness or unctuousness of skin and the contrary for ruksha guna.<ref name="ref7">Mishra S, Dwivedi RR, Ravishankar B.

=== Two main types of veerya (dwividha veerya vaada) ===

−

Most of the scholars accepted two types of veerya (the dwividha veerya vaada). The hot and cold are considered as two main contrasting energies responsible for carrying out various functions in [[Sharira|body]]. These can be equated to soma and agni i.e. the moon and the sun in the universe. These also represent the concept of Yin and Yang as put forth by traditional Chinese medicine.<ref name="ref10">Fu R, Li J, Yu H, Zhang Y, Xu Z, Martin C. The Yin and Yang of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Medicinal Research Reviews [Internet]. 2021 [cited 2023 Jan 20];41(6):3182–200. Available from: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/med.21793</ref> The three dosha are either considered to sheeta (kapha , vata dosha) or ushna (pitta dosha) in nature. The approach of [[Ayurveda|ayurveda]] regarding two types of veerya can be summarised as below: 1. Although all the dravya are panchabhautika in nature they can either be divided as ushna (hot) or sheeta (cold) based on the dominancy of ushna and sheeta guna [A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] .9/17, Indu commentary on A.S. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 1/26] These can be considered the most suitable types of veerya which can also be equated to karya-karana hetu according to [[Ayurveda|ayurveda]]. These two are best representatives of the dual energy i.e. heat and cold in the universe and hence rightly termed as dwividha veerya.[ A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 9/17] There are two other types of veerya: kritrima (artificial) and sahaja (inherent) veerya. Shivadas sen quotes the example of the heaviness of black gram (masha) and lightness of green gram (mudga) for inherent veerya (sahaja veerya), while that of lightness of puffed paddy (laja) to explain the aritificial veerya (kritrima veerya).

== Determination of veerya (veerya upalabdhi) ==

−

The veerya can be determined by two means: nipatat (immediately after coming in contact with the tongue) and adhivasat (after proper digestion and assimilation in the [[Sharira|body]]). [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/66] For example, the potency of meat of animals in marshy area (anupa mamsa) can be determined after porper digestion and metabolism (jatharagnipaaka) i.e. adhivasat. The potency of black pepper (maricha) is determined immediately after it comes in contact with the tongue. Similarly, the hot potency (ushna veerya) of maricha can be determined after the process of digestion when signs like appetite stimulation (deepana) and burning (daha) are observed. [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/66] Veerya can be determined through inference (anumana pramana) and direct perception (pratyaksa pramana). For instance, the cold potency (sheeta veerya) of rock salt (saindhava lavana) and hot potency (ushna veerya) of marshy animal’s meat (anupa mamsa) can be determined by inference (anumana pramana). The sharp potency (tikshna veerya) of Rajika (brown mustard) can be determined by olfactory perception (ghrana pariksha) as per direct perception. Similarly, the qualities like sharp (teekshna) and soft (mridu) can be determined through the visual perception and tactile perception (chakshu and sparsha pariksha respectively.

== General rules with exceptions regarding the determination of veerya (veerya nirdhaarana samanya siddhaanta and apavada) ==

−

[[Ayurveda|Ayurveda]] has termed the general rules regarding the relation and determining veerya of any dravya based on its [[Rasa|rasa (taste)]] and [[Vipaka|vipaka]] (post digestive effect). This can be equated to the basis of the panchabhautika constitution of the dravya. However, this rule has a few exceptions due to the variable panchabhautika configuration. More research studies can be carried out to further validate these concepts. The general rule states that a substance of madhura  rasa (sweet in taste) and madhura [[Vipaka|vipaka]] most commonly ~~possesses  sheeta  veerya~~. The sour substance (amla) in [[Rasa|rasa]] and [[Vipaka|vipaka]] is generally hot (ushna) in veerya. Similarly, dravya with pungent (katu) [[Rasa|rasa]] and [[Vipaka|vipaka]] is hot (ushna) in veerya. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/45] In this category usually by assessing [[Rasa|rasa]] of a dravya (rasa-upadeshena), one can conclude the veerya of that particular dravya. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/46] Thus, the variation in [[Vipaka|vipaka]] or veerya of a dravya can result in variation of its karma and [[Guna|guna]] (properties) despite the quality of [[Rasa|rasa]]. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/46] The following table the general rule and the exception with examples are mentioned as below:

The general rule states that a substance of madhura  rasa (sweet in taste) and madhura [[Vipaka|vipaka]] most commonly possesses [[Sheeta|sheeta]] veerya. The sour substance (amla) in [[Rasa|rasa]] and [[Vipaka|vipaka]] is generally hot (ushna) in veerya. Similarly, [[Dravya|dravya]] with pungent (katu) [[Rasa|rasa]] and [[Vipaka|vipaka]] is hot (ushna) in veerya. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/45] In this category usually by assessing [[Rasa|rasa]] of a [[Dravya|dravya]] (rasa-upadeshena), one can conclude the veerya of that particular [[Dravya|dravya]]. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/46] Thus, the variation in [[Vipaka|vipaka]] or veerya of a [[Dravya|dravya]] can result in variation of its [[Karma|karma]] and [[Guna|guna]] (properties) despite the quality of [[Rasa|rasa]]. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/46] The following table the general rule and the exception with examples are mentioned as below:

Veerya can lead to the variation in actions (karma) of two dravya having similar [[Rasa|rasa]] or [[Vipaka|vipaka]]. It is also observed that in exceptional cases, veerya may not be following [[Rasa|rasa]].2 Thus, there are few exceptions to the rules mentioned above, as given in the table below. [Cha.Sa.

Thus the dravya whose rasa- vipaka- veerya are following the panchamahabhuta prominence and follow the general rule are termed as ‘Samana pratyayarabdha dravya’. That dravya which have contrasting or opposing rasa vipaka veerya are termed as ‘Vichitra pratyayarabhdha dravya’. [Arundatta on A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 9/27-28] The peculiar action performed by dravya irrespective of its rasa-vipaka- veerya is termed as [[Prabhava|prabhava]]. [Cha.Sa. Sutra Sthana 26/67] This helps differentiate the veerya from [[Prabhava|prabhava]] and exceptions to the general action of veerya.

== Superiority of veerya ==

Principles of drug action in [[Ayurveda|ayurveda]] can be summarized in case of equality of strength. [[Vipaka|Vipaka]] overpowers rasa, veerya overpowers rasa. [[Vipaka|Vipaka]] and [[Prabhava|prabhava]] are considered to be competitive among all these three. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] .26/68-72] [A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 9/25] These factors act by overpowering and defeating one another. For instance, the hot potency (ushna veerya) of buffalo meat (mahisha mamsa) dominates the sweet taste and sweet post-digestive effect leading to the vitiation of pitta dosha. [Arundatta on A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 9/25] When there is a combination of antagonistic characteristics (viruddha guna), the dominant factor will overpower the weak one (Bhuyasa Alpam Avajiyate) [Cha.Sa.Vimana Sthana 1/14] For instance, the guru, snigdha guna of milk (ksheera) dominates over its sheeta veerya resulting in vata shamana. [Arundatta on A.H. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 9/24]

== Concept of veerya viruddha (contradictory potencies) ==

−

Veerya viruddha is listed as one of the types amongst 18 types of viruddha aahara. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/86-87] Consumption of sheeta veerya dravya in combination with ushna veerya dravya is stated as the example of veerya viruddha. [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana|Sutra Sthana]] 26/92] For instance, milk consumption of cold potency and fish of hot potency are contradictory. The dietary guidelines (aahar vidhi Vidhana) advise avoiding the consumption of veerya viruddha as it can result in occurrence of several diseases [Cha.Sa.Viman Sthana1/24]

== Importance of concept of veerya ==

−

Veerya is an important factor determining the action of any dravya. The duality of action in the form of catabolism or anabolism is well understood by the two types (dwividha veerya) i.e. ushna and sheeta veerya. Thus it becomes an important factor in mentioning the qualities of any medicine (aushadha) or food (aahara) dravya. The veerya of dravya is mentioned while depicting the action of that particular dravya. For instance, the sheeta veerya of ghee (ghrita) is responsible for the pacifying pitta (shamana) action, especially in fever (jwara) [Cha.Sa.Nidan Sthana1/39] Thus it constitutes the most important factor for administrating any dravya in the body. The dominance of veerya enhances the activity of any particular dravya. The pharmaceutical processes like bhavana (lavation), kala sanskara (time), samyoga (combination with other herbs) may help enhance the potency of herbs.

== Recent Researches on concept of Veerya: ==

Veerya is the subject of extensive research, especially considering the [[Ayurveda|ayurveda]] pharmacology. Dr. Nisteshwar K. has conducted a few animal experiments to establish the scientific validity of concept of veerya.<ref name="ref15">Nishteswar K, Basic concepts of Ayurvedic pharmacology , Chowkamba Sanskrit Series Office, Varanasi. Printed-2007, Page No. 110</ref> Following are examples.
