[[Shukra]], which is loosely translated as the semen, actually represents the potency of reproduction and renewal. It is concerned with the ability of life to renew itself, which is a challenge at the cellular level as well as the level of the organism. Life ceases to continue if it cannot renew itself. For this reason, the [[shukra]] is considered to be the seat of the life force.

Coping with stress and life-threatening situations require a robust immune system, and therefore [[ojas]] is one of the prominent seats of the life forces.
