Parimana

परिमाणम्

The text discusses the concept of Parimana (appropriate quantity) of water intake. The measurement systems for water are described - Nali, Saroda, Galana, Kudava etc. The appropriate quantity of water depends on one's digestive capacity (Agni), the season, the type of food consumed, and the individual constitution. Excess water intake dilutes digestive fire, while insufficient water leads to dehydration and Vata aggravation. A balanced approach matching water intake to physiological needs is recommended. Verse 30.
