< | <p style='text-align:justify;'>This chapter explicates the signs and symptoms of imminent death due to diminution of [[Agni]] (factor responsible for digestion and metabolism). The components of life like lifespan, strength, complexion, enthusiasm, health, growth, luster, and immunity are dependent upon the status of [[agni]]. Diminution of its power causes generalized symptoms indicative of imminent death. Declaration of the estimated time for death might be based on experience of many experts of that time, which can now be reestablished in light of present scientific developments. The clinical signs and symptoms given in this chapter are useful as an additional information for assessment of prognosis. </p> | ||

Composition of physical body ([[sharira]]), sensoria ([[indriya]]), mind ([[sattva]]) and soul ([[atma]]) is called life ([[ayu]]). With advanced stage of disease, physical body gets damaged, sensoria may also get affected and soul becomes ready to leave the diseased body; in such situation only strong mind power can sustain life as physical body follows mind and vice versa.[ [[Charak Samhita]] [[ | Mind supremacy is also highlighted, as the mental strength of a person declines due to advancement of disease; then the person is likely to die.
