चतुर्विंशतिर्धमन्यो नाभिप्रभवा अभिहिताः | तत्र केचिदाहुः- सिराधमनीस्रोतसामविभागः, सिराविकारा एव हि धमन्यः स्रोतांसि चेति | तत्तु न सम्यक्, अन्या एव हि धमन्यः स्रोतांसि च सिराभ्यः; कस्मात्? व्यञ्जनान्यत्वान्, मूलसन्नियमात्, कर्मवैशेष्यात्, आगमाच्च; केवलं तु परस्परसन्निकर्षात् सदृशागमकर्मत्वात् सौक्ष्म्याच्च विभक्तकर्मणामप्यविभाग इव कर्मसु भवति ||३||

sanskrit

There are twenty-four types of arteries that originate from the navel. Some say that the classification of arteries, nerves, and channels is based on their distinctions, stating that the variations in arteries themselves constitute the channels. However, this is not accurate, as the arteries and channels are indeed different entities. Why? Because of their distinct characteristics, their root causes, their specific functions, and the scriptural texts; indeed, due to their close proximity, they may appear similar, but they perform distinct functions and remain divided in their actions.
