Keywords:
Netra, sharira, eye, Daivakruta chidraAbstract
Sense organs are important part of human body. Important function of perception of knowledge is done by these organs. Sushrutacharya has explained sense organs. He has narrated nineteen chapters in uttartantra to explain the diseases, treatment and surgical aspect of netra. Other references of netra are also scattered in entire Sushruta samhita but all the terminologies used to describe the netra are not clear. e.g Daivakruta chidra . Apart from the fact that netra is a Marma, some points such as Daivakruta chhidra are mentioned, which should be used as a site of incision during many operative procedures of eye such as extraocular expulsion of lens material in linganash (cataract). While its exact correlation with modern anatomical structure is still unknown. In day today practice each surgeon uses different location for intraocular procedures. This article is honest attempt to explore different terminologies of netra with reference to modern anatomy and elaborate about Daivakruta chhidra.
