Dr. Ajit Kumar S. Wahane* and Dr. Siddharth Roy
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda denotes life as the combination (samyoga) of body (sharira), organs of cognition (indriya), mind (satva), and soul (atma). Acharya Charaka in Indriyasthana of Charaka Samhita states that all Indriyas transcend the senses, henceforth it should be examined directly by the Vaidyas. Here some sign symptoms have been described indicative of the abnormal perceptions relating to the sense organs. These abnormal perceptions are indicative of death. Ayurveda explained Arishta on long basis. Vaidyas should identify proper Arishta lakshanas. Arishta is an indication of a future event. Arishta lakshanas are mentioned in Charaka Indriyasthana.
