Concept of Arabdhata and Pratyayarabdhata is a unique concept of Ayurveda, which is related to the conjugation and configuration of Mahabhutas (penta elements). Every substance undergoes some changes during digestion and metabolism in terms of changes in its Panchabhautika composition. If substance retains its Panchabhautika composition throughout the digestion and metabolism, it is known as Samana Pratyayarabdhata and if Panchabhautika composition of substance becomes totally different after digestion and metabolism, it is known as Vicitra Pratyayarabdhata. The change in Panchabhautika composition of substance can be seen at the level of Vipaka (post-digestive effect) or Virya (potency), which are not found according to Rasa (taste) and hence the Karma (action) of substance becomes different from its Rasa. Therefore, four drugs were selected, two having Samana Pratyayarabdhata (Nimba and Vasa) and two having Vicitra Pratyayarabdhata (Bhumyamalaki and Shankhapushpi). Clinical study was carried out on 24 healthy volunteers having Madhyama Koshta, divided into four groups, one group for each drug. The effects of drugs were assessed according to their Vipaka on Koshta (Bowel habit) especially on stool and habit of defecation (Srishtavinmutrata or Baddhavinmutrata). All the drugs showed effect according to their Vipaka in few parameters, but most of the results were statistically insignificant which suggested that substances perform their action according to their Pratyayarabdhata.
阿罗婆多和变异阿罗婆多的概念是阿育吠陀的独特概念，它与五大元素（mahabhutas）的结合与构成有关。每种物质在消化和新陈代谢过程中，其五大元素的组成都会发生一些变化。如果物质在整个消化和新陈代谢过程中保持其五大元素的组成，就被称为 samaṇa pratyayarabdhata；如果物质在消化和新陈代谢后五大元素的组成完全不同，就被称为 vicitra pratyayarabdhata。物质五大元素组成的变化可以在味（vipaka，消化后的效果）或效能（virya）层面看到，而这些并非根据味（rasa）来确定，因此物质的作用（karma）与其味不同。所以，选取了四种药物，两种具有 samaṇa pratyayarabdhata（印楝和瓦萨），两种具有 vicitra pratyayarabdhata（地锦和白菖蒲）。对 24 名具有中等体质的健康志愿者进行了临床研究，将他们分为四组，每种药物一组。根据药物对胃肠道（koshta，肠道习性）的味，特别是对粪便和排便习惯（srishtavinmutrata 或 baddhavinmutrata）来评估药物的效果。所有药物在一些参数上都根据其味显示出效果，但大多数结果在统计学上不显著，这表明物质根据其阿罗婆多发挥作用。
