DISCUSSION FOR ABOVE SHLOKA
It is understood that pitta has got wider
aspects of functions apart from agnifunctions.
Moreover pitta is a doshawhere as kayagniis
governed by it
Hence it is obvious that agnihas got similar
functions to pitta in aspects of digestion an d
metabolism .
Agni in performing its functions not only
under the influence of pitta,butalso of other
doshasand factors.

Normal functioning and vitiation of doshasdepends on normalcy
of agni,thusavoidance of nidhanascausing agnidushtihelps in
keeping agniin balance.

Need for protecting agni

72. 
After detailed discussion of AGNI, it can be concluded that AGNI
plays a pivotal role in maintaining good health of a human being.
In clinical practice AGNI PARIKSHA of the patient is very
important, because on the basis of this parikshafuture
treatment plan can be decided.
Swasthya(healthy state of body) and Rogawasthaare entirely
depending on Agni.
VATA (prana, saman, apan, udan) stimulates the digestive
fire. AGNI should be protected by proper intake of food
because this act as a fuel.
Conclusion
30/06/2023 Role of agni 75

73. 
Consumed Aaharaundergo metabolic transformation process
with the help of Jatharagni, Bhutagni, Dhatvagni
Jatharagniis important because it facilitates secretion of
various chemicals, enzymes etcleading to proper digestion of
food.
Further Dhatwagniand bhutagnihelp for the digestion
absorption and assimilation of food substances into the body..
If any type of Agni gets vitiates; it vitiates the other Agni, and
ultimately it disturbed or vitiates the Doshas
30/06/2023 Role of agni 76

74. 
So we can conclude that Agnidushtihas prime importance in
the genesis of diseases. Hence we should protect Agni by
proper intake of Aaharaand Viharawhich will gives us
healthy and joyful life span .
