It is an indefinite organ. The terminologies and its relation to Vapavahana need a probe in identifying a relevant organ or part from modern point of view and its association as Moolasthana of Medovaha Srotas with applied importance. So identifying structural entity is more important to prevent and treat metabolic disorders, which are burning issues of the present era.
