http://laluni.helloyou.ws/askbaba/prasnottaravahini/prasnottara02.html.

Is it true?

If true, then please show me the scriptures based on panchagni.

I think the context will be helpful. With my very limited scriptural knowledge I can say there are multiple contexts...

Panchagni Vidya of upanisads
Agni tattva and its various types as per Ayurveda
Panchagni Tapas ~ a type of austerity practiced by Sadhus
...

5 is an important number in the context. 5 senses, 5 elements, 5 types of vayus etc.

In general context it would help to understand all of these.

From your original posting it seems you want to know about the Panchagni Tapas or the sadhana involving 5 fires which is a severe austere practice undertaken by Sadhus and ascetics. Is it so??
