There are ten ''pranayatana'' in the body, i.e. ''murdha'' (head), ''kantha'' (throat), ''hridaya'' (heart), ''nabhi'' (umbilicus), ''guda'' (anus), ''basti'' (urinary bladder), ''oja'' (essence of vitality), ''shukra'' (semen, ovum), ''shonita'' (blood), and ''mamsa'' (muscle tissue). Of these, the first six are the ''marmas''. [9]

Cross-reference: In [[Dashapranayataneeya Adhyaya]], Shankha (the temples) are listed instead of nabhi and mamsa.[Cha.Su.29/3-4]
