Agni

It is the digestive power of the human system, but also appears throughout the universe in various changes of substances such as those observed in chemical, bio-chemical and nuclear processes. However it is to be distinguished from Agni Bhutha, which is a principle. Agni works at 3 different levels.


Jataragni The digestive fire or the power to digest food.
Dhatvagni Special digestive agencies for various bodily tissues dependent on Jataragni.
Bhuthagni Required for the formation of specific material in the body such as rods and cones responsible for photosensitivity in the eye, special liquids around the taste buds in the tongue and so on.

Each of these three divisions have further subdivisions not mentioned here.
