रसादिसाम्ये यत् कर्म विशिष्टं तत् प्रभावजम्। दन्ती रसाद्यैस्तुल्याऽपि चित्रकस्य विरेचनी॥२६॥
Prabhava – special effect:- Special action exhibited by a substance over-ruling Rasa (taste), Guna (qualities), Vipaka (taste conversion after digestion) and Veerya (potency) is Prabhava. Though Rasa, Guna, Vipaka, and Veerya in a drug may be similar, sometimes the herb may exhibit entirely different action opposite to these qualities. That special effect of the drug over- ruling inherent qualities is called as Prabhava. Danti and Chitraka – Though Danti – Baliospermum montanum is identical with Chitraka (plumbago zeylanica) in respect of Rasa (taste) etc, Danti is a purgative while Chitraka is not. Hence, purgation is the Prabhava of Danti.

Similarly so, are Madhuka – Licorice – Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Mrdvika (grapes) Madhuka and dry grapes – both have similar qualities. But dry grape has mild purgative action, but Madhuka does not. Milk and ghee – both possess similar qualities. But ghee increases digestion strength but milk does not. Hence increasing digestion strength is the special effect of ghee. Vichitra Pratyayardha Dravya – extraordinary substances:- A special category, known as Vichitra Pratyarabda exists. It means – born out of peculiar combination of peculiar factors. For example: both wheat and barley possess sweat and heaviness qualities yet wheat mitigates Vata but barley aggravates it.

Fish and milk are sweet and heavy but still milk is cool and fish is hot. Meat of lion and meat of pig both are sweet in taste but still lion meat has Katu Vipaka (pungent taste conversion after digestion) and pig meat has sweet Vipaka (taste conversion after digestion).
