There are many concepts mentioned in the classics are scientific and worth understanding in modern words. Among the concepts Acharya Sushruta mentioned Sapta Kalas while explaining the Pratyangas in the body.[1] While composing the Anatomical and Physiological Sciences Ayurvedic Acharya's thought much for the basic constituents of the (Dhatu) and their substratum (Ashaya). While considering upon the Ashaya they had also thought of the linings marking internal walls of the Ashaya, designating them as Kala.[2] They presented it in a very silent way. Among the sapta Kalas Shlesmadhara Kala is described by Sushruta and other Acharyas. It is present in all the sandhi.[3] The aim and objective is to determine the anatomical limitation of Shlesmadhara kala in these structure. To fulfill such aims and objective we have reviewed all the Ayurvedic classics and related literature pertaining to the kala Shareera and Shlesmadhara kala with its structure and functions with the support of modern medical science, to confine its limitation.
