− | Charak has placed [[Indriya Sthana]] (section about near death signs) before [[Chikitsa Sthana]] (section about the treatment of diseases) possibly, to guide physician when not to treat a patient. In this chapter of [[Indriya Sthana]], [[Varnasvariyamindriyam Adhyaya]], Charak mentions near death signs and symptoms that can be directly observed by visual and other faculties. This chapter also describes ''prakriti'', the natural disposition of an individual, and ''vikriti'', or abnormalities , since such knowledge helps in discerning any sign of ''vikriti'' in a "healthy" individual. Three types of morbid conditions are observed namely, ''lakshana nimitta'', caused by bodily marks, ''lakshya nimitta'', caused by etiological factors which disturb the health, and ''nimitta anuroopa vikriti'', a break down for no apparent reason resembling etiological factors. The chapter describes various near death signs with changes in color, the complexion of body parts and voice. | + | Charak has placed [[Indriya Sthana]] (section about near death signs) before [[Chikitsa Sthana]] (section about the treatment of diseases) possibly, to guide physician when not to treat a patient.
