→Ten vital seats
There are ten ''pranayatana'' in the body, i.e. ''murdha'' (head), ''kantha'' (throat), ''hridaya'' (heart), ''nabhi'' (umbilicus), ''guda'' (anus), ''basti'' (urinary bladder), ''oja'' (essence of vitality), ''shukra'' (semen, ovum), ''shonita'' (blood), and ''mamsa'' (muscle tissue). Of these, the first six are the ''marmas''. [9]
