To comprehensively examine the classical Ayurvedic concepts of Mutra and Mutravaha Srotas, including their definitions, functions, and interrelations with other physiological systems. 2. To critically analyze the physiological significance and contemporary understanding of Mutra, addressing prevalent misconceptions and highlighting its systemic roles. Data source: Classical data from Caraka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanag Sangraha, Ashtanga Hṛdaya, Madhava Nidana, Pratyakshashareeram. Contemporary sources are e -Journals and Pub-med articles.
