And this phase completes with safe normal labor, for this normal labor various factors are responsible. Apana vayu is one among them. Prasuta maruta is apana vayu, It is called so because during labor apana vayu is actively involved in delivering the foetus, hence termed as prsava maruta owing to its function during labor. Stages of labor cannot progress properly without proper support of prakrut apana vayu. As apana vayu plays important role in delivery as prasuta maruta, for keeping apana vayu prakrut and avoid its vikruti during antenatal period and labor, our acharyas have given garbhini paricharya and prasava paricharya.
