Soma is said to move through the rainy-season triad in order, carrying seasonal rasas—an explanatory model for why strength and tastes shift with time."}
Dosha: Tridosha
Concept: Macrocosm–microcosm linkage: Soma/Agni principles explain seasonal nourishment and depletion, and the ordered emergence of rasas in time.
Application: Use the Saumya/Āgneya lens to choose when to build strength, when to conserve, and how to align ritual and health practices with seasonal energetics.

FAQs
It defines two cosmological/seasonal processes—visarga (release) as Saumya (cooling, lunar) and ādāna (withdrawal/absorption) as Āgneya (heating, fiery)—and links them to Soma’s sequential movement through seasons and the ordered manifestation of rasas (seasonal essences).
Beyond ritual narration, it preserves a technical seasonal model integrating cosmology (Agni–Soma polarity), calendrical/astral thinking (Soma’s course), and proto-Ayurvedic language (rasa as seasonal essence), showing the Purana’s cross-disciplinary scope.
By recognizing the Saumya (cooling) and Āgneya (heating) phases as orderly cosmic functions, a practitioner aligns conduct and observances with ritu-dharma (seasonal law), supporting purity, balance, and harmony with the divine order governing time.
