This chapter deals about the various perversions of the perception of the sensory organs. All these symptoms resemble the manifestations also seen in psychiatric conditions. It is important to keep in mind that arishta lakshana should be considered after excluding known conditions causing such symptoms, then only they should be valued as a tool to gauge span of life.
