The present chapter, ''Anujyotiyamindriyam'' or [[Anujyoti]], deals with near death signs that arise due to decrease in digestive capacity of a person i.e. ''jatharagni''. The chapter indicates importance of digestive and metabolic functions of ''agni''. The ingested food is helpful and nutritive to body only if, it passes through various digestive and metabolic processes successfully. This food nourishes the body at cellular level and it reflects in the form of good complexion, strength, good health, enthusiasm, and nourishment to formation of ''ojas''. Some part of food digested with the help of ''agni'' nourishes sensory organs along with ''mana'' (mind) too. [[Ayurveda]] has emphasized the importance of quality and quantity of Agni for metabolic activity of the body, that if the ''agni'' works well, the person lives long and if it ceases; the person is going to die.<ref>Acharya JT, editor. Charak Samhita of Agnivesha, Chikitsa sthana 4th ed. Ch. 15, Ver. 4. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Surabharati Prakashana; 1994. p. 512 </ref>
