The perception by the sense organs has been described in [[Ayurveda]] to be a function of the conjunction of ''mana'' (mind) with the ''atman'' (soul), the sense organs (''indriya'') and its subject (''indriyartha'') (Figure 1.)<br>

The correct perception has been described to be the function of ''mana'' and ''vata''. ''Vata'' is the entity which joins the ''mana'' and the above stated three other components. The functions of ''mana'' and ''vata'' account for in the modern medical sciences to that of the nervous system and its components.

Perception by the sense organs occurs through conduction by the peripheral nerves to the brain. Some of the sensory ''arishta'' perceptions described in this chapter are now also described in the modern medical science. The conditions due to defect in the nervous system and peripheral nerves such as Dysosmia (Distorted identification of smell), Parosmia (Altered perception of smell in the presence of an odor, usually unpleasant), Phantosmia (detection of smells which are not present), Ageusia (Inability to taste), Dysgeusia  (Distorted ability to taste), paraesthesias (altered tactile perception) etc..  Some of these are described in this chapter as an indicator of forthcoming death.
