Questions and answers
Which states of the digestive fire does chapter 2 describe, how are they defined, and which procedures does the text pair with the disordered ones?
Balanced fire digests a proper meal properly; irregular fire (from vāta) sometimes digests it and sometimes not; sharp fire (from pitta) digests even an excessive meal; weak fire (from kapha) cannot digest even a small one. The text pairs enema therapy, purgation, and emesis with nasal therapy with the vāta, pitta and kapha types in that order.
