Pusha
One of the fourteen principal nadis, assigned by the handbooks to the right ear. The name is that of the Vedic nourisher Pushan, the god who knows the paths and guards the road, and the channel is read with the nourishment that comes in through hearing.
Also written pusa or poosa. The Shiva Samhita gives only the name. The ear endpoint is commentarial and is duplicated by payaswini in some handbooks, which is a sign that the twelve subordinate channels were never given a settled anatomy.
