A Review Study of Mamsarajju on the Basis of Contemporary Anatomical Science
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Medicine is a persistently advancing and changing discipline. Literary research is a necessity in today’s perspective to get the hidden & unexplored knowledge. The Ancient Vedas are the initially written records of the wisdom & insights of Indian seers & scholars. Many specific words have been explained in the classical treatise in a specific context, several of which are of anatomical utility which is yet to be verified in the contemporary terminology. One of such unexplored term is MamsaRajju(rope like arrangement of Muscles) which is mentioned by Acharya Sushruta. MamsaRajju is specially described in the context of Prushta; which means Pashcchatbhaga of Shareera(back of body), which helps in standing forth prominently. Its position and enumeration are described while explaining the Paribhasha(definition) of various structures like Snayu(ligament), Kandara(tendon) etc in identifying a particular structure. Mamsanibandhani(stabilizing muscle arrangement) is to be used in respect to MamsaRajju as per commentator Acharya Dalhana. As per current knowledge of anatomy, there are complex structures present on the back in the form of muscles, ligaments, bones, joints, fascia and related neurovascular structures. Thus, by critically analyzing these structures, from Rachanatamka(anatomical) purview, we can determine specific anatomical structure which can be quoted as MamsaRajju.
