Among them Amsaphalaka Marma is Prusthagata Asthi Marma, two in number and Vaikalyakara type of Marma, located on Pristhavansa Ubhaya to (both side of vertebral column) and is related to Trika. Trauma to Amsaphalaka Marma results in Baahuswapa and Shosha. Here Marmabhighata Lakshan can act as predictors of the structures involved. In this study, an attempt is made to find out exact location of Amsaphalaka Marma and its relations with other anatomical structures with the help of cadaveric dissection.
