[[Agni]] means the factors responsible for digestion and metabolism. The human body is formed from five primordial elements. It naturally needs food for all these elements growth and development. Each of these elements needs bhutagni for their digestion and absorption. For example food containing parthiva part (earth element) is digested by parthivagni (bhutagni, which outlines [[prithvi]] elements of the food). Bhutagni is present in the gastrointestinal tract at the level of tissues in respective channels. [Cha.Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 15/12-14]

All the nutrients we eat also consist of the same five elements with their respective [[agni]]. Five bhutagni digest their part of the element present in the food materials. After the digestion of food by bhutagni, digested materials containing elements and qualities similar to each bhuta nourish its bhautika element of the body. This article describes the actions of bhutagni, its role in digestion and metabolism.

	Stage 2: Amla bhava - (Urdhava amashaya in the body or pylorus of the stomach - protein digestion - formation of the peptones and acidified chyme)		Stage 2: Amla bhava - (Urdhava amashaya in the body or pylorus of the stomach - protein digestion - formation of the peptones and acidified chyme)

			Pachakagni (jatharagni) acts upon it. Passage of the gastric digest (acidified chyme) to adha amasaya (ksudranta) resulting in the discharge, in this place of acchapitta and its action on chyme. This results in the separation as Sara and Kitta. Sara representing the ultimate elemental forms of the food ingested. Described on the basis of their physicochemical qualities (vijatiya). Formation of Kitta happens in pakvashaya where separation of substances meant to be eliminated through urine (mutra), stools (purisha) take place. Formation of mala rupa vayu with pungent and disagreable odour and the production of substances required for the five vayus (pindikarana)

			[[Ahara]] represents six tastes (shadrasa) in proper proportion (balanced diet).

			Stage 1: Madhura bhava - (Urdhava amashaya or stomach in the fundus – starch digestion)

			Stage 2: Amla bhava - (Urdhava amashaya in the body or pylorus of the stomach - protein digestion - formation of the peptones and acidified chyme)

	Bhutagnipaka functions start immediately after absorption i.e. portal circulation to liver. It ends before assimilation by delivering transient nourishing components (asthayidhatwamasha) into the circulation through hepatic vein. So, bhutagni functions are carried in the portal, liver, and vascular systems. Nutrient fluid (ahara rasa) is circulated in the body to nourish the body components ([[dhatu]]). Hence liver is considered the center of bhutagnivyapara.		Bhutagnipaka functions start immediately after absorption i.e. portal circulation to liver.

	All sense and motor organs ([[indriya]]) and mind ([[manas]]) are evolved from [[panchamahabhuta]]. The bhutagni is responsible for digestion and replenishing their corresponding substances with the attributes of smell, taste, radiance, touch, and sound, respectively. Thus bhutagni acts on nourishment of their corresponding [[indriya]], too. Bhutagni, nourishes its respective [[guna]] in the body. The smell, taste, sound, touch, and feeling of the food nourishes repective [[indriya]] in the [[purusha]].

	All the organisms are composed of five [[mahabhuta]], and the food of a living being, necessarily partakes the qualities of its human components. The food, which consists of five [[mahabhuta]] is digested by the five bhutagni. Each principle proceeds to augment its homolog in the human organism.
