Atyagni (अत्यग्नि) refers to “excessive digestion”, as mentioned in verse 5.21-23 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] among the (different kinds of milk [viz., payas]), [...] wholesome for those stricken with excessive digestion [viz., atyagni] and insomnia, very heavy, (and) cooling (is) buffalo’s [viz., māhiṣa] milk”.

Note: atyagni and anidrā, which are used here as bahuvrīhi compounds (“stricken with excessive digestion and insomnia”), have been rendered simply by ’ju drags (“excessive digestion”) and gnid med “insomnia”, with their possessive nature left unheeded.
