Shimbi Dhanya Properties

शिम्बीधान्य

General properties of Shimbidhanya (pulses/legumes): Most pulses are astringent and sweet in taste, dry and light, cooling, and have Katu Vipaka. Most pulses aggravate Vata due to dryness and are Kapha-Pitta pacifying. Mudga (green gram) is the exception being Tridosha-pacifying. Pulses should be cooked with ghee or oil to mitigate their Vata-aggravating property. The text establishes a hierarchy of pulses from lightest to heaviest. Verses: 34.
