Qualities Based on Terrain

जाङ्गलानूपजलम्

Water quality varies significantly based on the terrain or region (Desha). Water from Jangala Desha (dry, arid regions) is light, easily digestible, and generally wholesome. Water from Anupa Desha (marshy, wet regions) is heavy, sweet but may cause channel obstruction. Water from Sadharana Desha (moderate terrain) has balanced properties. The text emphasizes that one should preferentially use water that is natural to one's native region, as the body is habituated to it. Verses 26-29.
