Literary MeaningM / W – Srotas means the course or current of nutriment in the body , channel or course for conveying food, an aperture in the human body, Dusht`i means
corruption, defilement, growing worse ( i. e. Vitiation of body channels )
Implied MeaningSrotas are body channels, which carry solid, liquid, and gaseous nutrients, waste products and secretions from one part to another part of the body. When these elements are vitiated, they invariably vitiate the channels through which they are passing. This is called as Srotasdusht`i . Increased Dosha and weakened or vitiated tissue lead to diseases of various body channels.
