      Chapter 1 Sutra 8 तैर् tair भवेद् bhaved विषमस् vismaः तीक्ष्णो tīkṣṇo मन्दश् mandaś चाग्निः cāgniः समैः samaiः समः samaः ॥ ८ ॥ English विभिन्न प्रकार के दोषों के प्रभाव के आधार पर पाचन आग को निम्न प्रकार से वर्गीकृत किया जाता है: विषम अग्नि (वात द्वारा प्रभाव): पाचन अनुचित, अप्रत्याशित होगा। विषम अग्नि के कारण होने वाले रोग भी प्रकृति में वातजन्य होंगे और उनका उपाय वात नाशक विधियों द्वारा भी किया जाएगा। यदि चूल्हे में आग हवा से महसूस की जाती है, तो कभी चूल्हे में आग जलती है और कभी-कभी यह हिलती है, कभी यह पक जाती है और कभी-कभी नहीं पकती है। उसी तरह, व्यक्ति को कभी-कभी उच्च भूख लगती है और कभी-कभी बहुत कम भूख लगती है। तीक्ष्ण अग्नि (पित्त से प्रभावित): पाचन क्रिया मजबूत और शक्तिशाली होगी। भोजन की एक बड़ी मात्रा बहुत जल्दी पच जाएगी और शरीर में जलन, प्यास आदि हो जाएगी। यदि आग के गड्ढे में आग बहुत अधिक है, तो यह पानी के छिड़काव से कम हो जाता है, इसी तरह से विरेचन उपचारों का उपयोग तीक्ष्ण अग्नि को कम करने के लिए किया जाता है। मंदा अ
