शतमब्दं हि जीवेत सर्वरोगविवर्जितः त्रिफला सर्वरोगघ्नी समधुः शर्क्वरान्विता
śatamabdaṃ hi jīveta sarvarogavivarjitaḥ triphalā sarvarogaghnī samadhuḥ śarkvarānvitā
Tunay na maaaring mabuhay nang isang daang taon na walang anumang karamdaman. Ang Triphalā—kapag ininom kasama ng pulot at hinaluan ng asukal—ay pumupuksa sa lahat ng sakit.

FAQs
Ayurvedic practical knowledge: the rasāyana-style use of Triphalā taken with honey and sugar as a broad-spectrum remedy and longevity-supporting formulation.
It shows the Agni Purana’s inclusion of Ayurveda alongside ritual and dharma topics, preserving actionable household therapeutics (dravya-yoga) and longevity claims within a Purāṇic framework.
By promoting health, cleanliness, and longevity, the instruction supports sustained performance of dharma (daily duties, worship, and charity), which is traditionally viewed as enabling continued merit-making over a long life.
