<big>'''[[Indriya Sthana]] Chapter 8. Fatal signs like inverted shadow of dying person'''</big>
<big>'''Abstract '''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">
In this chapter [[Avakshiraseeya]] thirty six moribund signs starting with ''avakshira'', i.e. inverted shadow of the dying person are described. These moribund signs mentioned in this chapter can be classified into:
#''lakshananimitta'' (whose causative factors are pre-determined by destiny),
#''lakshyanimitta'' (based on etio-pathological factors) and
#''nimittaanurupa'' (resembling with etiological factors).
The changes in eyelids, eyebrows, face, scalp, nose, tongue, ears, and in abnormal movements of body are described to indicate declining lifespan and death. An individual is a union of five elements and consciousness. The union is by no means permanent with the possibility of dissolution (i.e. death) lingers on throughout life. Even though all symptoms mentioned in this chapter cannot be explained by rational scientific parameters, some particular symptoms are experienced and documented by people worldwide. At the end of the chapter the physicians are advised to carefully look for the moribund signs so the therapeutic treatment is stopped at appropriate time.
'''Keywords''': ''avakshira, Avakshiraseeyamindriyam,'' inverted shadow of the dying person, moribund signs, dissolution.

=== Introduction ===
The other dynamic of the dying process at work is on the emotional-spiritual psychological plane, and is a different kind of process. The spirit of the dying person begins the final process of release from the body, its immediate environment, and all attachments. This release also tends to follow its own priorities, which may include the resolution of whatever is unfinished of a practical nature and reception of permission to “let go” from family members. These events are the normal, natural way in which the spirit prepares to move from this existence into the next dimension of life. The most appropriate kinds of responses to the emotional-spiritual-psychological changes are those which support and encourage this release and transition. Some specific symptoms mentioned in this chapter are experienced and documented by people worldwide. The physician is advised to assess the moribund signs in order to stop treatment.
