Avala峁僢aka Kapha:鈥擲ituated in the thorax, 鈥楢vala峁僢aka Kapha鈥� protects the 鈥楾rika鈥� and other vital structures like heart, through what is called 鈥楢峁僢ukarma鈥�. Other anatomical sites where other types of 鈥楰apha鈥� are situated also are dependent on this (A峁ａ弓膩峁単ah峁沝ayasa峁僪it膩 S奴trasth膩na 12/15-16). 鈥楾rika鈥� region indicates the meeting point of three bones. As this is present in thorax, it must be indicating the junction between the sternum and clavicles, behind which, the thymus gland is situated. 鈥楢峁僢u鈥� means liquid or water. So, 鈥楢峁僢ukarma鈥� must be referring to lymphatic drainage.
