अभिभूयेतरांस्तत्तत्कारणत्वं प्रपद्यते। विरुद्धगुणसंयोगे भूयसाऽल्पं हि जीयते॥२४॥
In case of combination of two opposite qualities, the strong one vanquishes the weak. When two opposing qualities are present in equal strength, in that situation, Vipaka (taste conversion after digestion) wins over Rasa (taste);
