== Introduction ==
If there is any distortion in the image of the examiner reflected as a shadow in the pupil of the patient, should be considered as a sign of imminent death of the patient. ''Nimittanurupa vikriti'' (image pertaining to death) will serve as a yard stick to measure the span of life.

=== Role of ''Pancha-mahabhuta'' in complexion and luster ===
Following cross references are important to be re-visited to assess the role of ''pancha-mahabhuta'', especially ''tejas mahabhuta'' in complexion and luster.
*''Tejas mahabhuta'' promote luster complexion, strength, energy, power, digestive fire, and vitality. It also alleviates all ''vatika'' diseases and sustains youthful age. (Su.Chi.38/50)
*The normal watery rasa converted to reddish color by ''pitta'' is ''rakta'' and its equilibrium brings health. (Su.Su.14/5)
*Qualities of ''Pancha-mahabhuta'' are:
**Qualities of ''Akasha'' are- sound, auditory organ, all orifices and distinctness.
**Qualities of ''Vayu'' are – touch tactile organ, all activities, movements in all body parts and lightness.
**Qualities of ''Tejas'' are – vision, visual organ, complexion, heat, splendor, digestion, intolerance, sharpness and valor.
**Qualities of ''Apa'' are- taste, gustatory organ, all liquidity, heaviness, coldness, unctuousness and semen and
**Qualities of ''Parthiva'' (i.e., those that have qualities of the ''prithvi'' element) are- smell, olfactory organ, hardness and heaviness.(Su.Sha.1/19)
*''Tejas'' element is the causative factor of complexion when at the time of conception, it is predominantly associated with ''apa'' element, it makes the fetus fair- complexioned, predominance in ''parthivi'' elements causes black one. That in ''parthivi'' and ''akasha'' elements gives to black- sky complexion while predominance in ''apa'' and ''akasha'' elements makes fair-sky complexion of fetus. If ''tejas'' does not reach the visual organ, it makes the fetus born blind, the same associated with blood makes red eyed, that associated with ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' makes yellow- eyed and white-eyed respectively, if associated with ''vata'' it causes deformity in eyes.
*''Jatharagni'' is the primary factor for sustenance of life, color, strength, health, enthusiasm, plumpness, complexion, ''ojas, tejas,'' ''agni'' and ''prana''.
*To seethings devoid of their real characteristics - e.g., bright things looking dull and lusterless - indicates impending death of the patient.
*''Pannarupi'' implies something whose form or aspect has disappeared. ''Pannarupam'' , the word, has been derived from ''apannarupam,'' implies ill-formed or confused in respect of shape.
*Any alterations in ''chhaya'' (complexion) and ''prabha'' (luster) denotes the ominous sign for the patient.
*The process of dying usually begins well before death actually occurs. Death is a personal journey that each individual approaches in their own unique way. Nothing is concrete, nothing is set in stone. There are many paths one can take on this journey but all lead to the same destination. As one comes close to death, a process begins; a journey from the known life of this world to the unknown of what lies ahead. As that process begins, a person starts on a mental path of discovery, comprehending that death will indeed occur and believing in their own mortality. The journey ultimately leads to the physical departure from the body.
=== Sign of Imminent Death ===
#Patient who is suffering from ''kamala'', swelling in face, wasting in temples, and terrifying appearance with high fever has grave prognosis.
#Patient who faints again and again while being lifted from bed may not survive for a week. This is the time during the journey that one begins to sleep most of the time. Disorientation is common and altered senses of perception can be expected. One may experience delusions, such as fearing hidden enemies or feeling invincible. The dying person may also experience hallucinations, sometimes seeing or speaking to people that are not there or died in the past. Some may see this as the veil being lifted between this life and the next. The person may pick at their sheets and clothing in a state of agitation. Movements and actions may seem aimless and make no sense to others. They are moving further away from life to this earth.
#At the end of life, patients often lose interest in eating and drinking because the body is conserving its energy and no longer requires the same level of nourishment. It is important to let each individual decide how much, even if it is little or nothing, that he or she wishes to eat or drink. Family members should not force food or drink, as it will only make their loved one feel uncomfortable or upset. Near the end of life, patients no longer feel hunger pangs and forcing them to eat may actually cause nausea and abdominal pain. Eventually, the patient may become entirely unable to swallow food and fluids. Frequent mouth care will be given to help prevent dry mouth.
#When the body prepares to die, a decrease in urine production and loss of bladder and bowel control are noted. The urine may appear dark because the patient is not as hydrated and there is less circulation in the kidneys.
#Fluids may collect in a dying person’s throat and lungs. Because he or she is unable to swallow or cough up this fluid, he or she may make a gurgling noise. The noise may be worrisome to family members, but it is common and rarely uncomfortable for the patient. Elevating and repositioning the head may help to relieve some of the congestion.
#As cardiac output and intravascular volume decrease at the end of life, there will be evidence of diminished peripheral blood perfusion. Tachycardia, hypotension, peripheral cooling, peripheral and central cyanosis, and mottling of the skin (livedo reticularis) are expected. Venous blood may pool along dependent skin surfaces. Urine output falls as perfusion of the kidneys diminishes.
In parapsychology and many forms of spiritual practice, an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object (like the halo oraureola in religious art). <ref>Aura (paranormal); From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_(paranormal)</ref>,
