There are as many types of ''srotas'' as there are corporeal entities. All such entities do not arise or decay in the absence of ''srotas''. ''Srotamsi'' are defined as inner transporting channels of ''dhatus'' undergoing transformation. [3]

Some experts opine that an individual is just the aggregate of innumerable ''srotamsi'' because of their pervasiveness and the diffusiveness of agents that aggravate or pacify ''doshas''. However, it is not correct because that which ''srotas'' belongs to, which they carry, nourish and where they are situated, all that is different from ''srotamsi'' themselves. Some experts hold that ''srotamsi'' are innumerable because they are many while others consider them as definite in number. [4-5]

I will give examples of some types of ''srotas'' according to their origin and abnormalities, which will suffice for the learned to know about those not mentioned here and for the mediocre to grasp them fully. Some of the major ''srotas'' include those carrying ''prana'' i.e. vital breath, ''udaka'' or water, ''anna'' or food, ''rasa'' or plasma, ''rakta'' or red blood, ''mamsa'' or muscle, ''meda'' or adipose, ''asthi'' or bone, ''majja'' or marrow, ''shukra'' i.e. reproductive elements, ''mutra'' or urine, ''purisha'' or feces and ''sweda'' or sweat. As regards ''vata-pittta-kapha'', they move all over the body with all the ''srotamsi'' serving as their passages. Similarly, for mind etc. which transcend sense organs, the entire sentient body serves as a passage as well as its location. As long as these ''srotamsi'' are normal, the body is not inflicted with any disorder. [6-7]
