Vitapa (bilateral groin points)

Paired inguinal marma; representative anatomical-right anchor

Vitapa denotes the paired inguinal or groin marmas, represented here by the anatomical-right groin landmark and its implied mirror. The combat lens includes this vulnerable pelvic family under the immediate-danger warning class, while the widened radius acknowledges the deep anatomy and the limits of a front-view projection.

Suśruta-saṃhitā, Śārīrasthāna 6 (primary_canonical)

The canonical enumeration in Śārīrasthāna 6.6–8 (Acharya ed.) identifies paired Vitapa marmas in the inguinal region and places Vitapa in the snāyu class; this display is a warning classification, not an assault instruction.
