*The formation of [[dhatu]] involves the transformation of [[rasa dhatu]] into [[rakta dhatu]], [[rakta dhatu]] into [[mamsa mamsa]], etc., in the presence of respective ''dhatvagni'' in a similar manner as milk gets converted into curd, curds into butter and butter into ghee. According to Acharya Harita, within seven days [[rasa dhatu]] gets transformed into [[shukra dhatu]]. Even though this theory appears to be hypothetical, recent modern research has shown that this kind of transformation is possible.
