Ayurveda is the holistic and divine medical approach with a prime objective of restoration of health of a healthy person. The treatment of the illness comes as secondary objectives. The Vyadhi Vinishchaya (diagnosis of the disease) is an important step for starting the Chikitsa (treatment) to the patient. The Vyadhi (disease) of the person should be confirmed with the help of multifactorial examination i.e. Dasha-Vidha Pariksha (ten-fold examinations) from Ayurveda. The ten-fold examinations are tools for confirmation of Vyadhi as well as to assess the Bala and Samhanana of the person. The Sara Pariksha is one of the tools from ten-fold examinations which are used to determine Bala, vulnerability, susceptibility of the person to a specific disease. One of the types of Sara is Asthi Sara. Amongst the ten-fold examinations, Acharyas also described method the measure the body parts, i.e. Pramana Pariksha. In those ancient times, with available techniques, they used the Anguli (finger width) as the unit of measurement and called it as Anguli Pramana. The presented study is aimed to review the Asthi Sara Lakshanas in relation to Pramana Pariksha.
