The twenty attributes represent ten pairs of mutually opposite attributes. For example, effects of substances having one pair of such mutually contradictory attributes, viz. guru and laghu are described. These specific attributes directly take part in increase and decrease of dosha and body tissues.

Samanya is considered in view of guna (attributes) as well as jati (form). For example the properties and form of meat are similar to Mamsa dhatu. Therefore meat can be used in condition of depletion of mamsa. This is applied also in cases, where form is different but properties are similar, such as milk to shukra. We already discussed about the effect of mamsa on mamsa dhatu. The immature foetus in the form of egg etc. is a conglomeration of all dhatus. Hence, the mother’s consuming a chicken egg would promote all the dhatus of her foetus. Karma (activities) here includes sedentary habit, anxiety etc.
