sanskrit

There are instant death-inducing marmas, which are fiery in nature and quickly cause deterioration; then there are gradually lethal marmas, which are gentle and weaken over time due to a mix of fiery and lunar qualities. Wound-destroying marmas are associated with air; as long as the air stays inside, life continues. Once a wound is opened, the life force exits from the marma, leading to death. Disability-inducing marmas have gentle properties that promote stability and vitality; they support the life force. Pain-inducing marmas exhibit strong qualities of fire and air, causing severe pain. There are also references to the five great elements related to pain.

sanskrit

Some state that instantly lethal marmas pertain to fully developed bodies, while gradually lethal marmas relate to partially developed bodies. Wound-destroying marmas are associated with those having two deficiencies, disability-inducing marmas with three deficiencies, and pain-inducing marmas with just one deficiency. However, this does not hold true universally, as even if bone marmas are affected, blood flow is still a factor.
