The matsya avatara is without doubt linked to the pulmonary artery. Matsya would refer to the neural entity controlling the pulmonary arterial conduit. It is interesting to note that there is among the various implements of the yajna an implement (wooden ladle?) having the appearance of a fish. The pouring in of the deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery surely represented to the developers of the microcosmic model the setting into motion of the respiratory dharma. It was taken to be the starting point. It may mirror the macrocosmic truth regarding the animation (scattering) of the particles of matter by Isvara.
