Samana vayu separates nutritive (prasad) and waste (kitt) part from ahaar rasa. Nutritive part is circulated to entire body after absorption through rsayinii (villi) by vyan vayu. Waste part is excreted as feces, urine and sweat through their excretory channels by apaan vata. Absorbed nutritive substances circulate all over the body through seven specific micro channels of each of the seven dhatus.
