The processes of digestion and metabolism by bhutagni (bhutagnipaka) take place in the liver (yakrit). The liver (yakrit) is functionally and anatomically related to the gut (antahkoshtha). Liver is the site of most of those reactions which involves alteration of foreign compounds which can be mobilized. Hence it can be stated that the bhutagni is located and works mainly in these parts. [A.S. Sharira Sthana 6/59-60]<ref name= Sangraha> Vridha Vagbhata, Ashtanga Sangraha.
