Abstract

Agni in Ayurveda is considered as a biochemical substance which is responsible for bringing about parinama(transformation) of the food we consume. The Jatharagni(core digestive fire) is considered as the chief since the Bhutagni and Dhatwagni are dependent upon it. The complex form of food consumed is broken down into simpler and absorbable form by the Jatharagni. In this way the consumed food is made more homologous to our body components. Jatharagni is a contributing factor for various components of our body. Bala(strength) is one of them. In Ayurveda Trivida Bala is mentioned. Sahaja Bala is the natural strength of the body and mind. The present study was carried out to see the relation between Jatharagni and Sahaja Bala.

Keywords: Jatharagni, Sahaja Sharira Bala and Manobala.
