This will be abundantly clear from the following account of the course of the chyle and the blood :— - [Previous: v2.c34.238](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.238) - [Next: v2.c34.240](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.240) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34) ## Linked texts (1) - [Carakasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.caraka) — Agniveśa (Āyurveda) & Caraka, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.239](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.239) · Pramāṇa
