Abstract
‘Marma’ is that vital weak point of the body surface where trauma or injury may lead to sudden death or deformity in the body. The concept of marma is one element of divine Ayurvedic system of therapy which is popularised since Vedic era. Although the concept of Marma was first documented by Acharya Charak but the most famous text to explore the subject is Sushruta Samhita. They have explained 107 such Marmas (vital points), which are classified in different types according to the various aspects. Depending upon injurious effect, Marmas are of five types like Sadyapranahara, Kalantara pranahara, Vishalyaghna, Vaikalyakara, Rujakara. Out of them Vaikalyakara Marma are the points where injury causes structural or functional deformity. The Vitap Marma is explained as snayu Marma by Acharya Sushruta and sira Marma by Acharya Vagbhatta. Thus, this topic is selected to study its proper location with modern anatomy and also the structural involvement in injury causing Viddha lakshans specifically reproductive deformities as per Ayurveda.
