Vohufryana — fire in living bodies

Living and digestive fire

Vohufryana is the five-fire entry most directly associated with living bodies in the Bundahišn. It is shown near the mouth and upper digestive tract as an interface convention that joins nourishment and living heat; the source does not define a single mouth organ or physiological mechanism for it.

Bundahišn (Zand-Āgāhīh), Greater Bundahišn chapter 17 (primary_canonical)

Chapter 17 identifies Vohufryana with fire in human and animal bodies; the mouth and digestive-region coordinate is an editorial choice for making that domain visible.
