> Now, what are the ten internal cavities and the ten external attributes? They are as follows: the two eyes, the two nostrils, the two ears, the throat-channel, anus, penis, and channels of wind—these are the ten internal cavities. Ten vessels are attached to the heart. At their origin, having gone the measure of four finger-breadths, they become twenty. Thus these ten vessels become sixty. In that regard, there are three hundred and sixty networks of channels. Just as a tree covered with branches extends everywhere with fruits and leaves, just as \[…\] is covered with stones, so is this \[body\] pervaded with channels. For in every hair-follicle is an opening of a channel, from which sweat flows.
