        abstract = {Marma Sharira is one of the most significant branches of Ayurvedic anatomy and surgery. The term Marma denotes vital anatomical locations where structures such as Mamsa (muscle), Sira (vessels), Snayu (ligaments/tendons), Asthi (bones), and Sandhi (joints) unite and where Prana (vital life energy) resides. Among the 107 Marmas described in Ayurvedic classics, Sadya Pranahara Marmas are considered the most dangerous because injury to these points may lead to immediate death. Ancient Acharyas emphasized their surgical, prognostic, and therapeutic importance. Modern anatomical interpretation suggests that these Marmas correspond to regions containing vital neurovascular structures and essential organs such as the brain, heart, urinary bladder, and major vessels. This review critically analyzes the concept of Sadya Pranahara Marma with correlation to contemporary human anatomy and traumatology. The article integrates references from Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, and modern anatomical understanding to establish the clinical significance of these vital points.},
