Spring Water

औद्भिदजलम्

Auddbhida Jala (water emerging from the earth's surface as springs) has properties that depend on the minerals and soil through which it passes. Springs emerging from rocky terrain tend to be lighter and purer. Those from mineral-rich earth may have specific therapeutic properties. The text classifies earth-sourced water based on the predominance of the Pancha Mahabhutas (five great elements) in the soil. Water from white, sandy soil is light; from black, clay soil is heavy; and from mineral-rich soil may have astringent or other tastes. Verses 25-26.
