(After listening to the above explanation by his teacher, the student asked the following doubt:

How is it that rakta is formed in the body out of rasa, though being different from it? rasa is in fact colorless, and how does it attain the red color of rakta? How is it that a solid structure such as māṃsa is formed out of rakta which is a fluid by its nature? How is it that, again, from the māṃsa, which is solid, a fluid substance such as meda is formed? How is it that a rough asthi is formed out of smooth structures such as māṃsa and meda? How does the soft and fatty majjā form out of rough structures such as asthi? If at all shukra, which is present everywhere in the body is formed out of majjā that is located inside the asthi, how does it come out as one cannot see pores on asthi? [22-26]

How is it that ''rakta'' is formed in the body out of ''rasa,'' though being different from it? ''Rasa'' is in fact colorless, and how does it attain the red color of ''rakta''? How is it that a solid structure such as ''mamsa'' is formed out of ''rakta'' which is a fluid by its nature? How is it that, again, from the ''mamsa'', which is solid, a fluid substance such as ''meda'' is formed?  

 

How is it that a rough ''asthi'' is formed out of smooth structures such as ''mamsa'' and ''meda''? How does the soft and fatty ''majja'' form out of rough structures such as ''asthi''? If at all ''shukra'', which is present everywhere in the body is formed out of ''majja'' that is located inside the ''asthi'', how does it come out as one cannot see pores on ''asthi''? [22-26]
