− | # Bhutagni : The factors responsible for digestion and metabolism at organic level. These are five types of agni, those act after jatharagni, but before dhatvagni on the food and its metabolites. They are: parthiva ([[pruthvi]] dominant), apya ([[aap]] dominant) , taijasa (teja or [[agni]] dominant), vayavya ([[vayu]] dominant) and nabhasa ([[akasha]] dominant). They act on the corresponding substrate based on mahabhuta composition to make them homologous to that of the bodily constituents. | + | #Bhutagni : The factors responsible for digestion and metabolism at organic level.

− | # Dhatvagni: The factors responsible for digestion and metabolism at [[dhatu]] (various tissues). This is responsible for transformation of one [[dhatu]] into another namely rasagni, raktagni, mamsagni, medo-agni, asthi agni and shukra agni. Thus, dhatvagni are seven.
