According to some other scholars, when stools are converted in to round shape by Vaata, it is called as उदावर्त. S. U. 55/2 D`alhan`a

It has been guided by Aayurveda, not to suppress the natural urges of any thing that is willing to go out of the body either by upward direction or by downward direction.
