While describing ''pancha-panchaka'' principle of perception by five ''jnanaindriya'' [Cha. Su. 8/3], Charaka mentions five ''indriya'' (senses), five ''indriya adhisthana'' (sense organs), five ''indriya dravya'' (specific matter which enable the senses to perceive), five ''artha'' (specific objects to be perceived by sense) and five ''indriya-buddhi'' (final sensation). The five ''indriya'' are the five senses and the five ''indriya adhisthana'' are the five external sites of senses for example eyes for vision and ears for hearing, but site of the ''indriya-buddhi'' is not mentioned. In this regard, the following observations may be taken into consideration:

On the other hand, ''vikriti-vishama-samveta'' a combination of provoked ''doshas'' wherein new symptoms are produced that are neither of any of the ''doshas'' involved. For example, red colour appears on mixing of white lime and yellow turmeric, and in such a case the specific symptoms produced by the combination are described. Here in 17th chapter, specific symptoms of 12 types of ''vikriti-vishama-samveta'' ''sannipata'' are given in detail, but symptoms of ''sama sannipata'' are not given as it is ''prakriti-sama-samveta'' (Verses 41-72).

It is obvious from the above table that in case of ''avarita'', ''madhumeha'' initially causes an increase in ''kapha, pitta, meda'' and ''māmsa'' leading to an obstruction of functional pathways of ''vata,'' furthering its provocation, thereby increasing the severity of ''madhumeha''. In such a condition, the treatment is ''apatarpana'' and not of ''vata'' i.e. ''santarpana'' (Verses 78-81).

Thus, this chapter is very important as it deals with the disorders of three vital parts of the body (''trimarma''). It also describes very important aspects of pathogenesis caused due to combinations of vitiated ''dosha'' viz. ''samsarga'' and ''sannipata''. The description of ''ojas'' is a unique concept of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda]. The detailed descriptions along with etiological factors of each ''prameha pidika'' are very helpful in planning their prevention and cure.
