तीक्ष्णोष्णरूक्षसूक्ष्माम्लं व्यवाय्याशुकरं लघु। विकाषि विशदं मद्यमोजसोऽस्माद्विपर्ययः॥१॥

Madya (wine) is penetrating (deep into the tissues), hot (heat producing), dry (non-unctuous and causing dryness), entering even into minute pores, sour in taste, spreading all over the body first and then undergoing cooking (transformation), quick in action, easily digestible, causing looseness of the bindings of the joints, and non-slimy; hence it is opposite of (antagonistic to) ojas (the essence of Dhatus).
