Patient is the substratum of the act (''karyadesha''). Examination of the patient is conducted for the knowledge of life span or the degree of strength and morbidity. The variations in dosage and potency of prescribed drugs is according to the degree of morbidity and the degree of strength of patient, because if potent drug is administered suddenly by a physician having not been examined properly, it may kill the weak patient; the weak patients are not able to bear intensely potent drugs which are predominant in ''agni'' and ''vayu'' or cauterization, application of alkali and surgical operation. They may cause instantaneous death due to unbearable and over intense impulse of the drug. Keeping this fact in mind, the physician should treat the weak patient with drug which is not harmful, mild, delicate, and progressively strong in order, without complication and not creating any emergent condition, particularly ladies, because they have unstable, soft, bare and timid heart, they are mostly delicate, weak and dependent on others. On the other hand, the drugs having low potency and applied by one who has not been examined properly in strong patients having severe disorder becomes ineffective. Hence the patient should be examined in respect of constitution (''prakriti''), morbidty (''vikriti''), constitution of ''dhatu'' (''sara''), compactness (''samhanana''), measurement (''pramana''), suitability (''satmya''), psyche (''sattva''), power of intake and digestion of food (''aharashakti''), power of exercise (''vyayamashakti'') and age (''vaya'') for the knowledge of the degree of strength.[94]
