Abstract

Dhatus are the Shaktiyukta Drayas. They perform the function like Dharan and Poshana in the body. Nyayas are the laws that substantiate the process of theory of Dhatu Nirmana. Acharyas have propounded Dhatu Poshana Nyaya to substantiate the successive formation of Dhatus from Ahara Rasa. These Nyayas help to understand the concept of Dhatu Nirmana in a different and better way. The main Nyayas about Dhatu Poshan are Ksira Dadhi Nyaya, Khale Kapota Nyaya and Kedari Kulya Nyaya. In the theory of Kedari Kulya describes different tissues as different fields, which receive water through different channels, which in turn, are connected to a big reservoir of water. This theory can explain the passive diffusion of particles across the cell membrane, along the concentration gradient as occurs in case of CO_2,O₂ etc., because; the water passes into different fields passively, along the direction of concentration gradient.
