📄 Abstract
Despite centuries of writings and research into cardiac anatomy and function, the topic is still advancing, particularly in relation to clinical applications and embryological significance. This article presents the concept of hridaya in terms of its swaroopa with reference to Acharya bhela and attempts to clarify the nomenclature that is most commonly used by Ayurvedic vaidyas.According to Ayurvedic texts, the heart is an organ with a broad range of functions in addition to being a blood pump. According to Ayurvedic classics, Hridaya is the seat of intellect and life and governs the body, mind, and senses. Hridaya is considered one among the Dashapranayatana and one among the trimarma.In this article we mainly emphasis on Hridaya swaroopa , Hridaya as Pranayatana and Rasa Dhathu Samvahana with reference to contemporary sciences.Just as how the pundareeka pushpa blooms during the day time and closes during the night similarly hridaya also functions .In this context we can consider the diurnal physiology of the heart.This article tries to conceptualise the concept of hridaya as told by Acharya Bhela.
