EXPLORATION OF TEN PESHI OF STANA (BREAST) IN FEMALE AS DESCRIBED IN SUSHRUTA SAMHITA

*Verma Sonu, Awasthi H. H., Jain Teena

Abstract

Peshi are nothing but the samghata bheda of mamsa dhatu. Sushruta mentioned number of peshi and gave the development, distribution, function and types of peshi. He also gave the twenty extra female peshi, among them ten are in stana and ten are related to yoni. But none of the acharya has given the detail analysis of these extra peshi. In modern anatomy also classification and distribution of muscles has been given but description about these extra peshi in females is not found anywhere in the literature. It is very important to note that no author or commentators of Ayurveda literature have given a satisfactory explanation of extra peshi.

Keywords: Peshi, ten extra peshi in female stana.
