Kāshyap in the Physiology
In the physiology, Kashyap Samhita corresponds to the arterial system. The term 'Kashyap' signifies that value which sits in the middle, maintaining balance, equivalency, and nourishing both sides. It handles both sides — silence and dynamism. This corresponds to the activity of the arterial system, which nourishes all aspects of the physiology, allowing every organ to receive the nutrients it needs. This is the quality of equitability and equivalency.
