| The ''sneha'' (fatty) portion of ''majja'' produces shukra. The porosity in the ''asthi'' is produced because of the factors such as ''vata'' and ''akasha.'' ''Shukra'' comes out of ''asthi'' through these pores just as the water comes out of a new earthen vessel. Through the channels known as ''shukravaha srotamsi'', this ''shukra'' spreads all over the body. This ''shukra'' is discharged through the urethra (which is connected to the urinary bladder) because of several factors such as sexual excitation, reflex activities (''vega''), and mental determination (''samkalpa''). Just as the ghee moves out with ease when heated, the ''shukra'' too, is discharged due to the heat liberated during the sexual activity. This process of seminal discharge is comparable with the movement of water from a place of lower altitude to a place of higher altitude) [32-35] | | The ''sneha'' (fatty) portion of ''majja'' produces shukra.
