ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a science based on a number of ideas, one of which is 'Kala.' The 'Dhatwashayantar maryada' that divides dhatu and ashaya is referred to as 'Kala.' The Samhita describes seven kalas, with Pittadhara Kala occupying the sixth place. It is found in the midst of Pakwashaya and Amashaya, i.e., Grahani, and is associated to the small intestine. Grahani and Agni are mutually reliant on one another. Inadequate digestion of ingested food is caused by a functionally weak Agni, i.e. Mandagni, which results in Ama, or undigested metabolic product. The Ama Dosha is the root of almost all ailments. The tongue reflects what is going on inside the body. Yogratnakar also explains Astasthana Pariksha with Lakshana, among other things (symptoms). The tongue examination is a simple and necessary aspect of determining Sama, Nirama, and Vruddhi, kshaya avastha in the dosha, and lastly, Sapeksha-Nidana (disease diagnosis).
