Beneath talked about eight components are answerable for ejaculation of semen –
-
Harshata – pleasure
Sexual pleasure is likely one of the most necessary components important for ejaculation of semen. Ejaculation takes place on the peak of pleasure of man throughout sexual activity which describes the orgasmic state. So, excitation in intercourse is a vital section in addition to the important thing driving power for ejaculation. On the opposite aspect of the story, excitation is feasible provided that shukra dhatu i.e. semen is current in optimum amount and good high quality. So, presence and richness of shukra are additionally detrimental components for excitation and excitation displays the wholesome standing of shukra dhatu. An impotent or infertile individual won’t have harshana i.e. pleasure at intercourse, nor do individuals affected by sexual issues or issues of the reproductive system. Harshana shouldn’t be potential after ejaculation and the individual has to undergo a pause and break earlier than the subsequent act. This exhibits that shukra dhatu and harshana are two sides of the identical coin. The well being of 1 determines the well being of the opposite.
-
Tarshat – passionate need
Tarsha or Trishna means thirst. On this context it means ‘a robust or passionate need to get indulged in intercourse’. There’s nothing which comes of intercourse if there isn’t any tarshana adopted by harshana i.e. need adopted by excitation section. One can’t carry out in intercourse, simply as some other actions, if there isn’t any passionate need in doing it. One can’t have need for getting indulged in sexual actions if there may be shukra in much less amount or when there may be absence of shukra. Identical to Harshana, Tarshana and shukra too are two sides of the identical coin. Harshana, Tarshana and Shukra are interrelated in a loop and the optimum presence of 1 displays the optimum presence and easy operation of the others. So, Tarshana is a vital issue answerable for easy and straightforward ejaculation of semen.

Saratvat – the move of semen because of its fluidity
Sara means ‘to move’. Shukra Dhatu – semen can simply get ejaculated if the sara guna i.e. ‘move high quality’ of semen is undamaged. This ‘simple move’ of shukra dhatu is because of the dravatva i.e. fluidity of the semen and it comes because of the steadiness of jala – water and prithvi – earth parts within the semen i.e. a steadiness of liquid and stable parts. We have to do not forget that Shukra Dhatu belongs to the Kapha group of tissues. Shukra and Kapha are associated by Ashraya Ashrayi relationship whereby Shukra is Ashraya – the residence and Kapha is the Ashrayi i.e. resident. Kapha too is made up of Jala and Prithvi Mahabhutas. The saratva of shukra dhatu is undamaged so long as the steadiness between the water and earth parts is nice i.e. the fluidity because of water element is bigger than the solidity because of earth element. If this steadiness is reversed, there won’t be free move and ejaculation of shukra dhatu.
-
Paicchilyat – because of sliminess
Paichchilya or sliminess can be a top quality of kapha which has imbibed within the shukra dhatu additionally. It is because of its slimy nature itself, assisted by the sara high quality of semen, the shukra dhatu slides by the channels of transportation of shukra i.e. shukravaha srotas and will get able to get ejaculated. Due to this fact sliminess and saratva must be pure and fixed. Slimness is a top quality which makes issues adhere to one another. The parts of shukra dhatu are held along with the assistance of this high quality solely. It is usually answerable for issues to get adhered contained in the channels and have a tendency to trigger blocks when it will increase. So, sliminess of semen also needs to be to a sure admissible restrict and never past it, else shukra dhatu would adhere to the channels and won’t get simply ejaculated out. Due to this fact an ideal mix and steadiness between saratva and paichchilya is important for straightforward ejaculation. Paichchilya is an reverse high quality of vishada guna i.e. clearness high quality. If vishada guna will increase, vata will increase and this can result in many issues like untimely ejaculation. So, paichchilya may be very a lot important to have a verify on vata hyperactivity within the reproductive system.
-
Gaurava – heaviness
Heaviness can be a top quality of shukra dhatu which it has inherited from kapha. It’s an important and important high quality of shukra dhatu which is required for its simple ejaculation. Heaviness helps in gravitation. Ejaculation of semen takes place in downward path and that is potential solely because of the presence of heaviness high quality in semen, which pushes the move of semen into downward path in order that it simply will get ejaculated from its passages.
-
Anu Bhava – atomicity
Shukra Dhatu is of two varieties. One is unfold out all through the physique. The opposite is produced by shukravaha srotas and is saved within the reproductive system of man. Each are interconnected and so is their motion. The shukra pervading the entire physique is correlated with the hormones controlling the reproductive system and the shukra restricted to the reproductive system is correlated with the ejaculate consisting of semen with the sperms and different fluids. Each types of shukra are minute and their atomicity helps of their integral features and actions and their simple move to get ejaculated. Shukra vis-à-vis sperms, because of this atomicity can pierce and move within the small tubules of reproductive system from the seat of manufacturing i.e. testes, journey by many different minute channels, get combined with important fluids and move all the way down to get ejaculated.
-
Pravana Bhava – tendency to move out
The tendency of shukra dhatu to move out of the physique is obtained because of the mixed impact of saratva, pichchilatva, gurutva and anutva qualities of shukra. Absence of any a number of of those qualities would meddle into simple ejaculation of semen. Due to this fact the mixed motion of all these components is a should for easy ejaculation of shukra dhatu, aided by the power of one more issue i.e. vata.
-
Drutatvat Marutasya Cha – because of power and velocity of vata
Vata is answerable for motion of issues together with feces, urine, menstrual blood and semen. Vata pushes them out of the physique occasionally. To be particular these are the actions of balanced Apana Vata. When apana vata is imbalanced, these features are disturbed, ejaculation on this context. Shukra Prasechana i.e. ejaculation of semen is caused by the appropriate power and velocity of vata and therefore vata on the whole and apana vata particularly must be in a state of steadiness for ejaculation of semen to happen easily.
Dialogue and Abstract
Briefly, Grasp Charaka has fantastically summarized the whole dynamics, physics, chemistry and biology of the method of easy ejaculation which is an important occasion in a single’s sexual life, and it is very important occur on the proper time and in the appropriate amount. For this to occur, all the opposite eight occasions or components ought to work collectively, hand in hand. The mixture of those eight components alone will produce an efficient and significant ejaculation, easily on the proper time.
Since this idea has been defined within the Vajikarana Chapter, we should always infer that Vajikarana remedy and particularly the formulations defined within the fourth quarter of the second chapter of Charaka Samhita are extraordinarily useful in correcting the imbalance, errors or issues regarding any or all the above talked about eighht occasions or components. Vajikarana Remedy would assist in correcting the errors within the mechanism of both of the eight components and in addition to forestall the issues occurring in these occasions.
Acharya additional says that the soul which is un-manifested and which takes totally different types on this world manifests itself within the type of shukra.
