==Preamble of Indriya Sthana (Section on Determinants of Remaining Lifespan of Patients)==
This section of [[Charaka Samhita]] called [[Indriya Sthana]] deals with the signs and symptoms useful in determining the remaining lifespan of patients (also called ''arishta lakshana''). In the present era, because of advancements in medical sciences, many ''arishta lakshanas'' are well treatable and cannot be considered as "predictors" of death as they used to even a few centuries back. However, these signs and symptoms could serve as important indicators of prognosis of disease and therefore, would be helpful in the management of patients.
