[[Parimarshaneeyamindriyam Adhyaya]] mainly deals with the moribund symptoms based on palpating various regions of the body. It follows [[Pushpitakamindriyam Adhyaya]] that deals with the prognosis based on observing the changes in the odour or taste in the body. The reason for this sequence can be understood as the changes in the odor or taste can be felt easily and from far whereas to palpate the patient is a must. The chapter also precedes [[Indriyaneeka]], which deals with the prognosis based on observing the functioning of the sensory organs of the body.

Line 183: Line 183:  
[[Parimarshaneeyamindriyam Adhyaya]] deals with signs and symptoms of imminent death or moribund symptoms; specifically those are elicited by touch or palpation. The chapter commences with the importance of palpation as a modality for diagnosis and any changes in the body indicative of imminent death. The signs of imminent death are seen as abnormal manifestations which cannot be explained as they appear without any reason. These can be seen as absence of pulsation in the areas of the body that are pulsatile, coldness in the warm areas of the body, rigidity in softer body parts, roughness in the body parts that are slimy in nature, the inexplicable absence of body parts; laxity, bowing or displacement of joints, excessive deficiency of flesh or blood, solidity of flesh or blood, excessive perspiration or stiffness, and/or whatever other similar symptoms that can be demonstrated by palpation. The important point to note here is that all the signs and symptoms seen here as well as other chapters of [[Indriya Sthana]] are seen without any causative factors. The rest of the [[Charak Samhita]] excluding the [[Indriya Sthana]] comprises of various signs and symptoms due to ''dosha dushti'' or vitiation of ''doshas''. (Ch.In.3/4)
