[Description of three vital organs] In the hridaya (heart), are situated the ten dhamani (ten great vessels arising from the heart), prana, apana, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), chetana (life), mahabhutas (5 fundamental elements) just like spokes to the axle in the center of a wheel. In the shiras (head) are situated the indriyas (the seat of special senses), the srotas (channels) pertaining to the conduction of indriya and prana like the radiating spicules of the rays of sunlight. The basti (bladder) situated in the midst of sthula guda (rectum), mushka (scrotum), sevani (perineal raphe), nadis carrying mutra (urine) and shukra (semen) is the mutradhara (reservoir of urine) in to which drain all the ambuvaha srotas, similar to the udadhi (sea/ ocean) into which drain all the rivers. Hence, the body may be described to be pervaded by innumerable srotas nourishing marmas similar to the sky which is pervaded by the rays of sunlight.
