Sushruta has mentioned there is no Agni other than Pitta.Pitta being

of igneous nature, come forth with function like Dahan, Pachan etc
Consequently an enfeebled action of Pitta is remedied by the
administration of drugs and substances which are similar to the Agni in
their attributes 40

27/01/2010
 CONTD…
 Now the point of difference is if both are identical then
how some drug are ÌmɨÉzÉÉqÉMü but AÎalÉuÉkÉïM

and vice versa eg. Ghrita, goat milk .

 Also ‘xÉqÉSÉåwÉ xÉqÉÉÎalÉcNû’cant be explained

separately.Su.Ni.13/17
