स्यात्किट्टं केशलोमास्थ्नो, मज्ज्ञः स्नेहोऽक्षिविट्त्वचाम्| प्रसादकिट्टे धातूनां पाकादेवंविधर्च्छतः ||१९||

sanskrit

Kesha (hairs on the head) and loma (body hair) are the mala of asthi. The mala of majja is the oily excretion of the eye and the skin (sebum). Thus, the dhatus continuously undergo two kinds of transformation: prasada (nutrient portion) and kitta (non-nutrient portion).
