Injury of this Marma exhibits Chal Murdhata. This is classified as a Vaikalyakar Marma. This study is an attempt to put forward the Vaikalyakaratva property of the Krikatika Marma by analysis of Marmaghat lakshan and establish its correlation to modern anatomical structure present at that vital point.
