<br/>Kosthanga are mainly responsible for nutrition and excretion of mala. Hridaya is considered a kosthanga for; it is responsible for nutrition and excretion of blood impurities. Same is the case with vikka and basti. But the reason for not considering these organs under kostha may be that the structural disorders of any of the organs may influence the material flowing through them but not the organs of mahasrotas (A.Rm.) In case of the diseases related to abhyantara rogamarga, there may be indirect influence on the vahana dravya of these organs. eg. rakta mutrata in pittaja jwara, hrdaya asuddhi in ama jwara , bahu mutrata in ajirna etc. Thus, being influenced by kostha and their diseases, these might have been included in kosthanga. But when the point of roga marga comes, these organs are to be studied under madhyama roga marga as is in the texts. </p>
