Dhamani Marma is one such vital region in human anatomy which falls under the classification on the basis of structure involved. This classification has been given by Vagbhata alone . There are nine numbers of Dhamani Marmas explained by Vagbhata in Ashtanga Hrydaya Sharirasthana 4 thchapter, Marmavibhaga. They are 1) Guda- 1; 2) Apasthamba -2; 3) Vidhura -2; 4) Sringataka -4. On the other hand Acharya Susrutha and Vridha Vagbhata have mentioned these marmas under the following categories- Guda is Mamsa Marma , Vidhura is Snayu Marma where as Apasthambha and Sringataka are Sira Marmas .
