A critical study on Twak as a Matruja Bhava
Abstract
Twak is a Matruja Bhava. Organs derived from the maternal source in the embryo are nothing but the organs formed from the Shonita (Artava) of the mother. X chromosome of both the ovum and sperm can be considered as a part of Artava as a female child retains her two X chromosomes from her mother and father’s mother (grandmother) and a male child retains his X chromosome from his mother. Mutations in the genes of X chromosome lead to abnormalities in skin, which explains the possibility of Twak as a Matruja Bhava.
