sanskrit

[Attributes] Guru, laghu, sheeta, ushna, snigdha, ruksha, manda, tikshna, sthira, sara, mridu, kathina, vishada, picchila, shlakshna, khara, sukshma, sthula, sandra and drava - these are the twenty attributes of bodily dhatu that increase or decrease. For example, the habitual use of guru food preparations cause an increase in dhatu among them that are guru whilst reducing the laghu dhatu. Conversely, the use of laghu (food preparations) cause the dhatu that are laghu to get increased whilst reducing the guru dhatu. Thus, the mamsa dhatu get increased predominantly with the consumption of meat, rakta by rakta, meda by fat, vasa by muscle fat, asthi by tarunasthi(cartilage), shukra by shukra(semen) and garbha(fetus) by ama garbha, like egg.
