Vasti

Bladder / suprapubic marma

Vasti is the bladder marma, shown as a deep midline suprapubic projection within the lower abdomen. The source's grave injury prognosis is the reason for inclusion in this immediate-danger combat lens; the diagram is a warning classification and not a recommendation to target the pelvis.

Suśruta-saṃhitā, Śārīrasthāna 6 (primary_canonical)

The lower-trunk enumeration of Śārīrasthāna 6.6–8 (Acharya ed.) includes Vasti among the deep marmas and records its grave injury prognosis; this marker is deliberately presented as a caution only.
