Discussion-

आकाशपवनदहनतोयभूमिषुयथासङ्ख्यमेकोत्तरपरिवृद्धाः परस्परसंसर्गात्परस्परानुग्रहात् 

परस्परानुप्रवेशाच्च सर्वेषु सर्वेषां सान्निध्यमस्ति, उत्कर्षापकर्षात्तु ग्रहणम् | Su. Su.42/3

1)      Parthiv and Apya Bhav-      Cytoplasm and Nucleolplasm consists  water molecules and dissolved- ions. It is Sandra – has  consistency of gel , Bandhakrut- substratum for organelles. Vishyanda ,Kledan- Maintains fluidity.    

                  

2)      Agneya Bhav-     Mitocondria. takes nutrients , breaks down and turns into energy. Agneya  Pachanatmakam- Regulates cell metabolism and  acts as digestive system.                       

3)      Vayaviya Bhav-   It is difficult to compare Vayu with anything as it is said as the final authority. But can be said nearby to  Nucleus  which co-ordinates cell activities, growth ,metabolism and reproduction. It is the administrative centre of a  cell. 

“Ayusho  Anuvrutti  Pratyayabhuto Bhavati  Akupitah.” Vayu is responsible of all bodily mechanism to maintain life.

4)      Akashiya Bhava- Endoplasmic reticulum is the   microchanel which is connected from nuclear membrane to cell wall. It transports the material from cell wall to nucleus.

       “Srotamsi Khalu Parinam Apadyamanani abhivahini.”   -Charak Samhita

Viviktata- The semi-permeable membrane of cell allows certain substances to pass though . Similarly all the small pores , capillaries and tubules are different forms of Akash Mahabhuta.

Any sort of blockages in it may form pathology. For example Lacrimal tube, fallopian tube and Coronary artery.            

Conclusion- Thus cell  comprising Panchamahabhuta is a smallest unit of human body.  Panchamahabhutas are intermixed with each other and work together in a harmony so that all organells have all mahabhoutic Bhavas in more or less proportion creating a normal physiology.

Discussion-

Kshiram Jivayati-

 Charak Samhita expounds the
importance of milk (Ch.Su. 27/3) as milk prolongs the life span .In its
explaination of Jivan karma Acharya Gangadhar explains it as milk strengthens
the bond between Sharir, Atma and Indriya.At the severe and sudden occasion of
accident, in the person who is accustomed regularly to milk, the firm bonding
(Samyoga) holds the Prana or Chetan Sharir and the person survives for some
time till he gets medical help.

Marriage-

 The Selection of the
girl suitable for wife should be of ‘Saman varna’. If the marriage is in same
cast it is called “Anuloma marriage” and if it is in another cast called as
“Pratiloma marriage”. These references Acharya Gangadhar has quoted from Narad
Samhita and Manusmruti. The progeny of the Hybrid mixed combination is called
as “Varnasamkar”. It might be subject of research for Genomic. Sadvritta.Ch.Su.8/9
