<big>'''Vimana Sthana Chapter 2. Three parts of abdomen and principles of diet '''</big>
<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">This chapter describes the principles of food and dietary intake for healthy living with special emphasis on the quantum of food ingested. It is advised that one must eat in accordance with the capacity of one’s stomach and the quantity of food is determined by the strength of one’s jatharagni (digestive ability). Ayurveda regards ama, or undigested food, as a source of vitiation of doshas (and consequently, a source of various afflictions). Proper quantity of food when consumed will, therefore, be digested in time without disturbing one’s health. Diet taken with proper consideration of agni positively promotes one’s strength, complexion, health and life, while improper quantity (amatra) of food - heena (less) or adhika (excess) - leads to various disorders. </div>
'''Keywords:''' ''Kukshi'', capacity of stomach, digestion, quantity of food, ''ama'', ''visuchika'', ''alasaka''.
