- Statement
- Subterranean water runs in veins (sira) of the earth, higher and lower, exactly as veins run in the human body; rain of one colour and taste takes varied colour and taste from the soil it meets, so water must be judged by its surroundings.
- Homology Note
- The body↔earth vein-homology is the doctrinal core; see pra-bhumi-sira and cnx-0040. THE prana-axis statement of this chapter.
