The main abodes of the humor wind are the hips and the abdomen. Above the hips and the abdomen is the "receptacle of digested food" (pakvāśaya: the upper intestines). In the middle of this receptacle is the abode of the humor bile. Situated higher up is the "receptacle of undigested food" (āmāśaya: the stomach), which is the main abode of phlegm.
