[Assessment of vaya (age)] Examination of a person with respect to age should be done as the state of body corresponds to the length of time. Age is broadly divided into three stages viz. childhood, middle age and old age. Childhood is determined upto the age of sixteen years when dhatu are immature, sexual characters are not manifested the body is delicate, unenduring with incomplete strength and predominance of kapha dhatu. This again is perceived in two subtypes viz. dhatu in developing stage up to sixteen years and fickle mind up to thirty years. The middle age is characterized by strength, energy, virility, valor, acquisition, retention, recollection, speech, understanding and qualities of all dhatu having developed properly; with proper physical and mental strength, without degeneration in qualities of dhatu, with predominance of pitta dhatu and is up to sixty years. Later is the old age up to one hundred years. During this period dhatu, sense organs, strength, energy, virility, prowess, acquisition, retention, recollection, speech and understanding generally or gradually degenerate, this phase is predominated by vayu. During this stage the measure of life span is one hundred years. There are persons who lived longer or shorter than that, in such cases, one should determine the three divisions of age on the basis of strength of the factors like prakriti etc. except vikriti and also by the features of different periods of life span.

[Assessment of Kala (time or stage or season)] Kala (time) has been considered of two types viz. year aspect and status of the patient. The year has been divided into two, three, six, twelve or even more parts according to nature of action (to be taken). Now, dividing into six, the action will be said. Hemanta (early winter), grishma (summer) and varsha (rainy season) these are the three seasons characterised by cold, heat and rains. In between them, there are other three seasons having common characters as pravrit (early rain), sharada (autumn) and vasanta (spring). Pravrit denotes the early rain; varsha is the continuation of the same. Thus, these six divisions of the seasons have been made for the purpose of evacuative therapy.
