• Acharya Vagbhatta, quoted in Ashtanga Hrudaya sincere efforts should be made by

every individual to preserve hisher vision till the last breath of life, because, for an

individual who is blind, day and night are the same and this beautiful world is of no

use to him even if he possesses a lot of wealth.

quality of our vision. The loss of vision is nothing but the loss of life.

Patalas; 2 Vartama Patalas and 4 Akshigolaka Patalas. The outer one of the four

Akshigolaka patalas i.e. the first Patala is associated with Rasa and Rakta dhatu. It is

supported by Tejas and Jala.
