I agree to the preassumed concept and very well logically accepted.
My study is based on the health and shukra. In charaka, female shukra
is not perfectly defined. But conclusion is that in females this
shukra is divided into the three components. One ovum, menstrual
fluid, and milk. In males it is clear that it is semen.

So if anjali pramana in males for shukra is prasut i.e 1/2 anjali.
But factually according to our survey a average male takes out semen
which is equivalent to half of his weight i.e. 15-30 ml. So how to
corelate these things ?
