Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
तथा यद्यद् भवेद् युक्त संनिपाते क्वचित् क्वचित् | तत्तन्मर्म विजानीहि शास्त्रदृष्ट हि तत् तथा
tathā yadyad bhaved yuktaṃ sannipāte kvacit kvacit | tattan marma vijānīhi śāstradṛṣṭa hi tat tathā ||
وكذلك، حيثما ومتى ما وُجدت الأعضاءُ متّصلةً عند موضعِ التقاءٍ أو مفصل، فاعلم أن كلَّ موضعٍ من ذلك هو موضعٌ حيويّ (marma)؛ فإنّ المصنّفات تصف علامةَ المَرما على هذا النحو بعينه.

Educational Q&A
A marma is identified by anatomical convergence: wherever limbs or bodily structures meet and are joined at a junction, that location should be understood as a vital, life-sensitive point, as affirmed by authoritative śāstric tradition.
A Siddha is instructing the listener in a technical, śāstra-based way—defining how to recognize marma points by observing bodily junctions, a knowledge relevant to disciplined conduct in combat and to understanding bodily vulnerability.
