The present chapter, ''Anujyotiyamindriyam'' or [[Anujyoti]], deals with near death signs that arise due to decrease in digestive capacity of a person i.e. ''jatharagni''. The chapter indicates importance of digestive and metabolic functions of ''agni''. The ingested food is helpful and nutritive to body only if, it passes through various digestive and metabolic processes successfully. This food nourishes the body at cellular level and it reflects in the form of good complexion, strength, good health, enthusiasm, and nourishment to formation of ''ojas''. Some part of food digested with the help of ''agni'' nourishes sensory organs along with ''mana'' (mind) too. [[Ayurveda]] has emphasized the importance of quality and quantity of Agni for metabolic activity of the body, that if the ''agni'' works well, the person lives long and if it ceases; the person is going to die.<ref>Acharya JT, editor. Charak Samhita of Agnivesha, Chikitsa sthana 4th ed. Ch. 15, Ver. 4. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Surabharati Prakashana; 1994. p. 512 </ref>

Further, status of dying person is described briefly that, he may develop aversion to all loving and respectful persons, friends, food (and other basic essentials for surviving) etc. as his soul is almost in position to detach this body and preparing self to travel to other world. The chapter defines ''arishta'' with a new dimension. The concomitant aggravation of ''dosha'' (either qualitative or quantitative) with life-threatening diminution of ''dhatu'' is significant in the prediction of death.
