Abstract

The assessment of Indriya Sthan is less frequently discussed in research platforms. Acharya Charak mentioned it in the fifth position, where twelve chapters have been thoroughly analyzed. The term "Indriya" is defined by Acharya Chakrapani as “ , ,” which highlights the connection between Indriya and Prana (vital energy) and its decline. The significance of this concept is emphasized in the chapter on Indriya Sthan. These chapters are presented before the Chikitsa Sthan, underscoring their importance in practical application. This framework allows physicians to have a clear understanding of the signs of potential fatality before initiating treatment. Current research aims to explore the involvement of Arista, as referenced in the Indriya Sthan of Charak Samhita.

Keywords: Arista, Indriya Sthan, Charak, Anatomical structures.
