In rasa vaha srotas, Mula corresponds to which anatomical region?

• A. Left ventricle and aorta
• B. Right chamber of the heart, and the 10 great vessels
• C. Liver and portal system
• D. Pulmonary artery

Answer: (B)

Rasa vaha srotas are the channels that carry rasa (the nutritive plasma) through the body, and their mula (root) lies in the heart, specifically the right side, together with the 10 great vessels that connect the heart to the circulation. This reflects the idea that the nutritive fluid begins its journey at the central pumping and routing hub of the body—the right heart and the major vessels—before moving onward through the pulmonary circuit and systemic circulation. The other options point to parts of the circulation or separate systems (like the left heart output or the liver’s portal system) that aren’t the origin of this srotas.
