sanskrit

In this context, the large intestine is said to be connected to the rectum, which is approximately four and a half fingers in length. In this, three folds arise at intervals of one and a half fingers. These are called Pravahani (expulsive), Visarjani (evacuative), and Samvarani (retentive), each extending about four fingers in length, and all of them are spread transversely and raised by one finger in height.
