sanskrit

[Three states of digestion and provoking dosha] As soon as the food that has all the six tastes is consumed, it undergoes the first stage of digestion known as madhura (sweet) state during which kapha is produced which is like froth. Afterwards, while the food undergoing digestion is in its partially digested form, it attains amla (sour) state.
