sanskrit

[Diet and lifestyle guidelines in Hemanta ritu (Winter season)] Status of agni: During sheeta kala (hemanta) due to the contact of cold wind, the agni (digestive power) of strong/healthy individuals gets trapped in the body (like in a closed chamber) and becomes strong or powerful enough to digest food that is inherently heavy and excess in quantity.
