How the Jataragni Digests Food.
Jataraagni, in conjunction with the ten Forms of Air(Vaayu), performs the following functions of Digestion.

the property of Heat and corrosion,
Dries the Food as Shobakam( this comes out as waste from the Body),
Thaakaham, Burning the Food to create calories, Energy and
