Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Dear Sri Narasimha, This being would like to correct you on the meaning of MUTRASHAYA. You have given the meaning of word Mutrashaya as Kidney which is incorrect. Sharangdhar Samhita says, MALASHAYA SWADHASTASYA BASTIRMUTRASHAYA SMRUTAH: JEEVARAKTASHAYAMURO GNEYA: SAPTASHAYSTVAMI. Meaning that Basti is known as Mutrashaya. Let me expand the commentry further. (S.S samhita Chapter V sloka 9) Bladder is refered to as Mutrashaya. In Ayurveda, kidney is not considered as Urine creating organ. Kidney is considered as MedaProducer and is not considered as a part of Basti. It is considered as medavriddhaka along with Jathara.
