In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)

Ajīrṇa (अजीर्ण) refers to “indegestion”, as defined in the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 4).—Accordingly, “the following are the causes of indigestion (ajīrṇa), which is due to weakness of the digesting heat [i.e., mandāgni]:—Drinking of excessive quantity of water (i.e., water drunk in excess of the quantity required to satisfy thirst), taking of food at irregular hours and in irregular quantities, suppressing calls of nature, and sleeping in day time”.

Indigestion is of four kinds, viz.,

āmājīrṇa (indigestion due to āmā: undigested part of the chyle),
vidagdha-jīrṇa or jaratpitta (putrefaction of the bile),
viṣṭabdhā-jīrṇa (i.e, indigestion attended with flatulence),
rasaśeṣa-jīrṇa (undigested chyle).

Thus addressed by them in their great distress, the Lotus-born replied to them: ‘[...]’.”.

Ajīrṇa (अजीर्ण) refers to that which is “undigested” (i.e., water), as mentioned in a verse sometimes added after 5.18 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “(any) water (is) not, however, to be drunk if water coming from another place (is still) undigested [viz., ajīrṇa], and boiled (water not) if raw (water is still undigested), unboiled (water) not even if boiled (water is already) digested. This precept (applies only) to (boiled) cold (water); if, however, (boiled) hot (water is still) undigested [viz., ajīrṇa], one shall eschew cold (water altogether). [...]”.
