Abstract : Rachana Sharir is a branch of Ayurveda that focuses mainly on the embryological and structural arrangement of the human body. Within this field, Paribhasha Sharir plays a key role by defining specific bodily structures such as Kandara, Jala, and Kurcha etc using different terminology for specific structures of the body. It's important to understand these basic terminologies for the better understanding of Ayurveda, especially when comparing Ayurvedic and modern anatomical terms. This review examines the term "Mamsarajju," which in Ayurveda refers to rope-like structures associated with muscles. By analyzing Ayurvedic texts such as Sushrut Sharir Sthan and comparing them with modern anatomical references, this study establishes a correlation between "Mamsarajju" and the Deep back muscles of human body. The review compares classical Ayurvedic Samhita, modern anatomical texts, and Sanskrit dictionaries to identify correlations. The analysis shows that the Ayurvedic concept of Mamsarajju aligns well with modern anatomical descriptions of specific deep back muscles like splenius , Erector spinae etc. This correlation demonstrates the accuracy of ancient Ayurvedic scholars and their relevance to contemporary anatomy.The interdisciplinary approach of this study not only validates Ayurvedic terminologies but also improves our understanding of human anatomy, contributing to both medical science and therapeutic practices.

Keywords : Mamsarajju, Paribhasha sharir, Ayurveda, Deep Back muscles.
