शान्तेऽग्नौ म्रियते, युक्ते चिरं जीवत्यनामयः| रोगी स्याद्विकृते, मूलमग्निस्तस्मान्निरुच्यते||४||

sanskrit

When the agni stops functioning, the individual dies; if the agni functions normally, the individual can lead a healthy and long life. Similarly, if the agni becomes abnormal, the individual suffers from various diseases; and hence, the agni is said to be the root cause of health and longevity
