Now, we shall explain the marma points of the back. The marma located on both sides of the spinal column in the lumbar region, near the hip bone, is called "Katitaruna." Injury here can lead to death due to blood depletion, causing paleness and deformity. The marma called "Kukundara" is located on both sides of the spine, in the outer parts of the hips. Injury here causes loss of sensation in the lower body and impairment of movement. The "Nitamba" marma is located above the hip bones, on both sides of the sacrum. Injury here can cause lower body atrophy and weakness, leading to death. The "Parshvasandhi" marma is located at the sides of the body, below the ribs. Injury here causes death due to accumulation of blood in the abdominal cavity. The "Brihati" marma is located on both sides of the spinal column, starting from the root of the breasts. Injury here can cause death due to excessive blood flow and related complications. The "Amsaphalaka" marma, located on both sides of the spine, connected to the shoulder blades, causes numbness and atrophy of the arms when injured. Finally, the "Amsa" marma, located between the neck and the upper arms, causes stiffness of the arms when injured. Thus, we have described fourteen marma points related to the back.
