Hey Agnivesha! There are 107 marmas in this sharira situated in the skandha (trunk) and shakha (extremities or limbs). Trauma or pain occurring in these areas is much more intense as compared to other parts because of chetana (life) is bound to these sites.

Hey Agnivesha! There are 107 ''marmas'' in this ''sharira'' situated in the ''skandha'' (trunk) and ''shakha'' (extremities or limbs). Trauma or pain occurring in these areas is much more intense as compared to other parts because of ''chetana'' (life) is bound to these sites.

The marmas related to skandha are more important than those situated in the shakha because the shakha is attached to the skandha and more so among the skandha situated marmas, hrid, basti and shiras are important owing to the fact that they are the root cause of body (on them depends the existence or otherwise of the body).(3)
