Shiras is one of the 3 most highly important marmas in the body. IT is known that if injury to anyone of these occurs, the person may loose life and can be left severly injured. This has been mentioned by Acharya Charka in the following sutra,<blockquote>तेषां त्रयाणामन्यतमस्यापि भेदादाश्वेव शरीरभेदः स्यात्, आश्रयनाशादाश्रितस्यापि विनाशः; तदुपघातात्तु घोरतरव्याधिप्रादुर्भावः; तस्मादेतानि विशेषेण रक्ष्याणि बाह्याभिघाद्वातादिभ्यश्च||५|| ??Char. Samh. chi 26.3-4) or (Char. Samh. Siddh 9.5)
    +
Menaing: Injury to any of these three vital marma which includes shiras (basti and hriday being other two marma), leads to sudden pain all over body. Destruction of the ashraya(substance) leads to destruction of the ashrita(substrate). Severe disease manifestations occur due to injury, thus shiras must be protected especially from external injury and vata dosha.</blockquote>
