The Sanskrit word dha means holding, placing, containing, causing. Dhatu means tissue, that which holds the organ together, the constructing, cementing material of the body. The body is made up of atoms. Many atoms gather together to create molecules, and many molecules come together to create tissues of blood, muscle, bone, etc.
