Here, substances are categorized based on their predominant qualities: Earth (Parthiva): Substances that are coarse, dense, stable, heavy, hard, with a strong odor, somewhat astringent, and primarily sweet in taste. These substances increase firmness, strength, heaviness, and generally have a downward tendency. Water (Apyam): Substances that are cold, moist, smooth, slow to digest, mobile, dense, soft, slimy, and sappy, with tastes that are predominantly acidic, salty, or sweet, and slightly astringent. These substances provide lubrication, pleasure, and binding, and promote the body's liquid content. Fire (Taijasam): Substances that are heat-producing, sharp, subtle, penetrate the finest capillaries, dry, rough, light, and non-slimy, with a predominantly pungent taste and a slight saltiness. These substances have an upward tendency, produce a burning sensation, aid digestion, and enhance complexion and eyesight. Air (Vayaviyam): Substances that are subtle, dry, rough, light, cold, non-slimy, with a predominantly astringent taste and a slight bitterness. These substances reduce internal sliminess, produce lightness, dryness, and emaciation, and enhance mental clarity. Sky (Akashiyam): Substances that are smooth, unctuous, subtle, soft or pliant, expansive, porous, and have no definite taste. These substances impart softness, lightness, and porosity to the body.
