सप्त सिराशतानि भवन्ति; याभिरिदं शरीरमाराम इव जलहारिणीभिः केदार इव च कुल्याभिरुपस्निह्यतेऽनुगृह्यते चाकुञ्चनप्रसारणादिभिर्विशेषैः; द्रुमपत्रसेवनीनामिव तासां प्रतानाः; तासां नाभिर्मूलं, ततश्च प्रसरन्त्यूर्ध्वमधस्तिर्यक् च ||३||

sanskrit

There are seven hundred Siras (vessels) in the body; they nourish and sustain the body, just as water channels irrigate a garden or streams irrigate a field through contraction, expansion, and other functions. From the main vessels, smaller ones branch out, resembling the veins of a leaf. Their root is in the navel, from where they spread upwards, downwards, and sideways.
