No visible ''srotas'' is involved in the diversion of fluids into the abdomen. Rather it is from the minute pores present in the intestine, fluid oozes into the abdominal space between the ''kala'' and visceral tissues. This can be best understood by the allegory of oozing of the water stored in the new earthen pot through the invisible minute pores. Thus, in ''udara'', the distension of abdomen is due to the accumulation of the fluids within the space between the ''kala'' and visceral tissues in the abdomen [9-11].
