5.Title of Topic:

“CADAVERIC STUDY OF SHRINGHATAKA MARMA”

6. BRIEF RESUME OF INTENDED WORK.

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Marmacomprises of Mamsa,Sira,Snayu,Asthi & Sandhi on which the sustains of life depends. It is evident that if any injury occurs to a Marma it may lead to either deformity or even death. Marmas are enumerated as 107 in our classics.1

Marmas are classified in to fivecategories based on its Parinama (effects of Injury).Out of these the Sadhyapranahara Marmas are considered more important than others andany aghatha (injury) over the Sadhyapranahara Marma will lead to death of a Person immediately, further any aghathaover the Kalanthara Pranahara Marma causes death after lapse of some time. One may survive in vishalyagna marma aghata but death will occur followed by removal of foreign body, Injury on Vaikalyakara will lead to physical disability to which a person has to bear throughout his life.1

Urdwajathrugathabhaga plays a very important role because of the seat of Prana both structurally and clinically.4 The SiraMathruka, Sankha, Shringhataka and Adhipathi, these four Marmas are considered as the Urdwajathrugatha Sadhyapranahara Marmas. Their numbers are 8,2,4 and 1 respectively.1

Among these the Siramathruka and Shringhataka are the Siramarmas and Sankha is Asthi variety, Adhipathi is comes under SandhiMarma.2

At the Meeting Place of Orifices of the Tongue, Nose, Eyes, Ears and Palate is the Vital spot by name Shringhataka. These are 4 in number and SadhyaPranahara according to Acharyas.2

Although the Gross, Regional and the Viddha laxanas are described in the Samhithas,the detailed description of particular structures which are involved in forming Shringhataka Marma region is lacking in the ancient texts. Yet no cadaveric study has been conducted till now with relation to Shringhataka marma. Whatever the study has been conducted till today only on the basis of available literatures and understanding and interpretation with the modern science. This has attracted me to carry out the Cadaveric study through dissection, for exploring the extent, nature and particularstructures of Shringhtaka Marma which is going to enhance our knowledge and highlight the dark areain this topic. This is going to be very helpful for Practitioners, Scholarly persons and Academicians etc.
