c8.174

According to Suśruta the three humors and the blood share equally in the seven hundred vessels, each of them being provided with one hundred and seventy-five. These vessels carry the three humors into their proper abodes, and the blood into the liver and the spleen. There are ten major vessels (Mūlaśirā) in each of these four groups; in addition, there is a uniform pattern, showing the distribution of the hundred and seventy-five vessels over the various parts of the body.
