Shadow Viprapati



Whoever suddenly becomes smoky, black, red, purple or yellow in color like a mole, his death is certain. Whoever suddenly loses shyness, courage, patience, memory power and beauty (face beauty) or in whom all these things seem to happen suddenly is certain to die. Whoever has a drooping lower lip and a raised upper lip or both lips look black like a sneeze, his life is rare. Whoever has teeth that fall out without any reason and become red or smoky black or his teeth are like the feathers of a bird, his life is known to be over. Whoever has a black, stiff, coated, thick and rough tongue, his death is very near. Whoever has a crooked, cracked, dry, noisy or stuck nose, his life is in danger. A person whose eyes are narrowed, distorted, without eyelashes, red, and misplaced or bulging, is certain to die. A person whose hair on his head suddenly looks like a bowl or a thorn, whose eyebrows are narrowed and bent, and whose eyelashes are torn, should immediately go to the hospital. A person who cannot swallow food that is in his mouth, twists his neck, and faints while looking intently, should die immediately. A wise man, whether weak or strong, should give up hope on a person who faints many times as soon as he is woken up. A person who always lies down anxiously, with his legs twitching and twitching, will not live. A person whose hands, feet, and breath become cold, and who is convulsed and breathes through his mouth, should be abandoned by a physician. He who does not wake up at all, who is always awake or is in a state of delusion while talking, is a parityajya. He always licks his upper lip and the one who is dry and talks to me or to ghosts, you will know him as a ghost. Without any doubt, he whose hair roots and eyes, ears, etc., have blood flowing from his senses

Face reading also known as physiognomy  is not considered a science. It lacks empirical evidence and scientific validation  though it's often used in traditional beliefs and pseudoscience.



Outside, his life is immediately lost. He whose dysentery moves upwards and reaches the heart and causes aversion to food through pain, his death is certain.


With the accompanying symptoms of dysentery, thirst and weakness (in edema), edema of the feet is harmful to men, edema of the face to women and edema of the private parts to both. In the case of a person suffering from dysentery or cough, if there is excessive sweating, fever, hiccups, vomiting and swelling of the private parts, his life is in danger. If the sweat, burning, hiccups and dysentery increase at the same time, then even if the person is strong, he cannot get rid of it. He whose tongue appears black, his left eye is sunken and a foul smell comes out of his mouth, he will leave him. He whose tears flow into his mouth, his feet sweat and his eyes look like they are full of blood, he goes to the kingdom of Yama. A person whose body suddenly becomes light like a flower or dark like a stone is a guest of the house of Yama. A person whose body emits the smell of dirt, fish oil, castor oil, ghee, etc. and other kinds of fragrances, goes to Yama. Those who have a lot of lice on their heads, who do not eat their vomit or rice given to them by hand, or who have no joy or movement in their minds, die. If a person with weak and weak body has fever, excessive sweating and dysentery, if one deficiency increases with the treatment of the other, then know that it is a fatal disease. If the hunger and thirst of a person with milk are not satisfied with cold, sweet and tasty food and drink, then know that his death is imminent. If diarrhea, severe headache, stomachache, thirst and loss of strength are present together, then know that his death is imminent.


Cause of death - A person dies due to irregular food intake, early work and indecision (natural dependence).

The Acharya says


Due to the failure of the medicine to work, various ghosts, demons, demons, etc. approach the dying person and destroy the power of the medicine with the intention of killing him, thus all the efforts of the dying person are in vain.
