Abstract

Among Bruhatrayee, only Charak samhita quoted separate section (Indriya sthan) about the remaining life span of a person. To understand this concept of life and its determination it is framed in 12 chapters, which is explained elaborately and based mainly on four evidences i.e., Aptopdesha, Pratyaksha, Anuman and yukti pramana. There are special instructions for physician while going to treat the patient. The treatment will not be fruitful if the patient doesn’t have a remaining good life span and hence it spoils the name, fame, reputation and wealth of the physician. That is why indriya sthan is quoted before Chikitsa sthan. The similar instructions quoted by Acharya Sushrut in Sutra sthan and Acharya Vagbhat in shareer sthan which is also before Chikitsa sthan. Most of the group of signs and symptoms which are mentioned is collectively termed as Arishta/Rishta lakshana i.e., bad signs. A few of good signs also mentioned in Charak Samhita for good life span of a person. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Interpretation and justification of remaining life span of patients and aware the society to save the time, money and unnecessary physical and mental exhaust. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Team work on indriya sthan for departmental project. CONCLUSION: Thoroughly clinical examination and related biomarkers quoted in Samhita which indicates the terminal illness can be used in ICU for the betterment of medical science.
