तत्र जिज्ञास्यं किं पित्तव्यतिरेकादन्योऽग्निः? आहोस्वित् पित्तमेवाग्निरिति? | अत्रोच्यते- न खलु पित्तव्यतिरेकादन्योऽग्निरुपलभ्यते, आग्नेयत्वात् पित्ते दहनपचनादिष्वभिप्रवर्तमानेऽग्निवदुपचारः क्रियतेऽन्तरग्निरिति; क्षीणे ह्यग्निगुणे तत्समानद्रव्योपयोगात् , अतिवृद्धे शीतक्रियोपयोगात् , आगमाच्च पश्यामो न खलु पित्तव्यतिरेकादन्योऽग्निरिति ||९||

sanskrit

The passage addresses the nature of Pitta and its relationship with the concept of Agni (digestive fire). It questions whether there is a fire other than Pitta or if Pitta itself is the fire. The response clarifies: No, there is no fire distinct from Pitta. The nature of Pitta itself is fiery, involved in digestion and transformation. In treatments, Pitta is managed as a type of fire due to its inherent qualities of burning and digestion. When Pitta is weakened, it is treated with substances that balance the fire; when it is excessive, cooling methods are used. Thus, there is no separate fire other than Pitta.
