[[Indriya Sthana]] deals with the observation of predictors of life and fatal signs useful in determining the residual lifespan of patients (also called ''arishta lakshana''). The word ''Indriya'' literally means organ, sense, force, vigor.<ref>Sanskrit-English Dictionary available from [http://spokensanskrit.org/index.php?mode=3&script=hk&tran_input=Indriya&direct=au] retrieved on April 19, 2019</ref>. In the present context, it means ''Prana'' or vital life force.<ref>Commentary by Chakrapani on Cha.Indriya 1/1-2 available on [http://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/ecaraka/?mod=adhi] retrieved on April 19, 2019</ref>. The seat of ''prana'' in the body is ''Sneha'' or ''Ojus''. ''Indriya'' (sense organs) are said to be the ''linga'' (organs) of ''prana''. An important concept discussed in this section is termed ''Indriyadushti'' (damage to the sensory system). A state of perfect health is ''Anirvedovarta Lakshanam'' (i.e., life without any indication or perception of being alive).(Cha.Su.25/40)
