The root from which they spring is the navel. From the navel they go upward, downward and transversely. All tubular vessels of the body are fastened to the navel; thence they spread all round. The vital forces, associated with the life-breath (prāṇa) of animate beings, abide in the navel. The navel is surrounded by the tubular vessels (śirā), as the hub of a wheel is surrounded by spokes.
