With respect to the ''adhishthana'' (location) of ''gulma'', five major sites have been mentioned , including the ''hridaya, nabhi, basti,'' and ''parshwadwaya'' (flanks). In the context of this chapter, hridaya should be taken as the upper part of the abdominal cavity rather than the thoracic cage as described in Sharirasthana. Vata gulma most commonly occurs in basti, while pittagulma occurs most commonly in the nabhi region, and kaphagulma in the hridaya and parshwadwaya regions. The yakrita gulma occurs in the region of hridaya, ashtheela gulma in the region of kukshi (hypogastrium), pleeha gulma in the Madhya (central) region, chandravivardhaka gulma in the region of basti , and granthi gulma afflicts the region of nabhi.

In the context of this chapter, ''hridaya'' should be taken as the upper part of the abdominal cavity rather than the thoracic cage as described in [[Sharira Sthana]]. ''Vata gulma'' most commonly occurs in ''basti'', while ''pittagulma'' occurs most commonly in the ''nabhi'' region, and ''kaphagulma'' in the ''hridaya'' and ''parshwadwaya'' regions. The ''yakrita gulma'' occurs in the region of ''hridaya, ashtheela gulma'' in the region of ''kukshi'' (hypogastrium), ''pleeha gulma'' in the ''madhya'' (central) region, ''chandravivardhaka gulma'' in the region of ''basti'' , and ''granthi gulma'' afflicts the region of ''nabhi''.
The pathogenesis of pittaja and kaphaja gulma takes place in amashaya that lies in the region between hridaya and basti. Thus these two variants of gulma (i.e., pittaja and kaphaja) cannot occur in basti. The five sites of gulma can be mapped to the following anatomical sites of the abdomen:
