Garbha • Chapter 1 • Shloka 19
शरीरमिति कस्मात्
साक्षादग्रयो हात्र श्रियन्ते ज्ञानाग्निर्दर्शनाग्नि कोष्ठाग्निरिति ।
तत्र कोष्ठाग्रिनमाशितपीतलेहाचोष्य॑ पचतीति ।
दर्शनाग्नी रूपादीनां दर्शनं करोति |
ज्ञानाग्निः शुभाशुभं च कर्म विन्दति ।
Why is the body called "śarīram"?
It has three fires – namely, jñānāgni, darśanāgni and kosthāgni. Of these, kosthāgni is that fire which enables the digestion of all that is eaten; darśanāgni is the fire that gives the power of seeing forms; jñānāgni is that fire of knowledge which enables one to distinguish between good and bad actions.
