鈥楶r膩峁嘺 V膩ta鈥�:This is situated in head and is responsible for the control over intellectual functions, cardiovascular functions, sense organs, psychological activities, respiration, and reflex activities like sneezing, belching and deglutition (础峁ａ弓腻峁単补丑峁沝补测补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 12/5). Based on this sub-type of 鈥榁膩ta鈥�, 鈥楶r膩峁嘺vaha Srotas鈥� has derived its name.

The food is brought towards thegut through 鈥楶r膩峁嘺 V膩ta鈥�. There, various fluids making its bonds loosen, act on it. Also, the food is softened here.

鈥楶r膩峁嘺 V膩ta鈥� situated at 鈥楴膩bhi鈥�, comes out through the throat toconsume a nectar-like substance called 鈥榁i峁ａ箛upad膩m峁泃a鈥� from the atmosphere. After consuming this nectar of atmosphere, it re-enters the body speedily and nourishes the 鈥楯墨va鈥� (艢膩. P奴. 5/51). Though the site of 鈥楶r膩n飥猘 V膩ta鈥� is described to be 鈥榟ead鈥� in all earliertextbooks,艢膩rn艅gadhara has described it to be 鈥楴膩bhi鈥� in this reference. 鈥楴膩bhi鈥�, in Sa峁僺k峁泃a language, just means 鈥榓 center鈥�. So, this is indicative of a particular center in the head.
