Abstract:

The present scenario of lifestyle is prone to cause many lives deteriorating conditions. Sandhigatavata is one among the Vatavyadhi and the commonest articular disorder affecting the middle-aged, obese, and elderly population. The advancement in working pattern, lifestyle & age-factor, all together have become a prime cause for aggravation of Vata, which accelerates Dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues). Sandhigatavata can be correlated with osteoarthritis (OA) which is one such chronic, degenerative, inflammatory disease that has a great impact on the quality of the life of an individual. OA poses a huge hindrance in the day-to-day activities of the sufferer like walking, dressing, bathing etc. As per Ayurveda, it is caused due to localized accumulation of aggravated Vata in joints, which leads to Shula, Sotha, Vatapoornadritisparsha and functional disability of affected Sandhis. If not treated in time, the disease makes man disable. According to epidemiology the prevalence of osteoarthritis in India is 22-39%. Different treatment modalities like Snehana, Swedana, Lepa, Bandhana, Agni Karma and Raktamokshana are emphasized in Ayurveda to provide better relief from the pain and swelling and restore mobility; for the management of these symptoms, Swedana is the most convenient & best procedure. So, the present study was aimed to assess clinically the effect of Upanaha Swedas in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and Koladi Upanaha Sweda in the management of Janusandhigatavata. Materials and Methods: It was a randomized comparative clinical study; total 40 patients were divided into 2 groups as 20 in each. In Group A, patients were treated with only Vachadi Upanaha Sweda and other group patients were treated with Koladi Upanaha Sweda. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that both the interventions wereeffective in reducing all the signs and symptoms of Janusandhigatavata, however in parameters Shotha, tenderness and walking distance, Koladi Upanaha Sweda showed better response than Vachadi Upanaha Sweda. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of Koladi Upanaha Sweda over Vachadi Upanaha Sweda in Janusandhigatavata both clinically and statistically. Keywords: Janusandhigatavata, knee osteoarthritis, Koladi Upanaha, Vachadi Upanaha, Swedana.

Abstract:

Introduction: The Upanaha Sweda and Anda Pinda Sweda have wide levels of application in Ayurveda practice. Upanaha Sweda is mentioned by Acharya Charaka in Niragni Sweda type. Whereas, other classics like Susruta Samhita and Astanga Hrudaya mention it in the Sagni Sweda variety. So, combining both the views of Acharyas, we can interpret that there are 2 types of Upanaha i.e., Sagni Upanaha & Niragni Upanaha. Anda Pinda Sweda is a type of Snigdha Sankara Sweda. These two classically mentioned therapies are less utilized in many institutions due to various reasons. Here in this study, we are trying the sort out the practical difficulties and find the possible modifications of these classical procedures for their utilization in the modern era. Methodology: With the main intention of developing a Snigdha Swedana procedure having both the benefits of Anda Pinda Sweda and Upanaha Sweda, the Andopanaha is designed. Here in this new method, the Dhanya Dravya is replaced by the (Kukkuta Anda) egg white, which is also a good binding agent. Observations: Compared to the Anda Pinda Sweda procedure the contact of Egg proteins with the skin is more in the Andopanaha procedure. Which helps is more analgesic effects and anti-inflammatory effects of the egg proteins. Discussion: The paper is prepared by authors with the intention that procedures and standards of care must be updated with modern tools and technologies without violating the basic principles of Ayurveda. If the old procedures need any changes according to the modern era they must be followed for their propagation in the public.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper deals with the history of the disputes regarding the Ksatriya status of the local ruler Shivaji and the Cāndrasenīya Kāyastha Prabhu (CKP) community of Maharashtra. The origin of these disputes lies in the wider dispute concerning whether there are any true Ksatriyas in the Kali age. The CKPs of Maharashtra claimed to be Ksatriyas and thus entitled for the rite of Upanayana, while the dominant regional Brahmin opinion was that they were Śūdras and not entitled for the Upanayana. The dispute broke out a few years before Shivaji's coronation, and to the discomfort of the local Brahmins, Gāgābhatta of Banaras settled it in favor of the Kāyasthas in his work, the Kāyasthadharmadīpa. In decades after Shivaji's death, the dispute broke out again, and within Maharashtra, gradually the Dharmaśāstric opinion shifted against the views of Gāgābhatta, and toward the end of the rule of the last Peshwa, this dispute was raised again by Nīlakantha Śāstri Thatte in Pune against the Kāyasthas. I have traced the lineage of Nīlakantha Thatte, through his teacher Vaidyanātha Pāyagunde, to his teacher, the great Nāgeśabhatta of Banaras. Nāgeśsabhatta produced his Vrātyatāprāyaścittanirnaya at a śāastrasabhā in Jaipur, where he argued that there were no pure Ksatriyas surviving in the Kali age, and that the impure ones do not have the eligibility for Upanayana through some expiation. So the Kāyasthas could not claim to be genuine Ksatriyas either. It was this opinion of Nāgesabhatta, counter to the opinion of Gāgābhatta, that steadily gained popularity among the Pune Brahmins during the rule of the Peshwas, finally reflected in the activities of Nīlakantha Thatte.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Tennis elbow, the painful condition of extensor tendons of the humerus caused by repetitive stress, has no reliable treatment apart from symptomatic support. Ayurvedic practitioners widely use Agnikarma (therapeutic/thermal cauterization) and Snayugatavata Chikitsa (tendinitis treatment protocol) as treatment modalities for it. Agnikarma or Daha is indicated in extremely painful conditions of tendons. Snayugatavata Chikitsa includes Snehana (oleation), Upanaha (medicated bandage), and Daha (thermal cauterization). Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of “Agnikarma” alone and along with Sneha and Upanaha as a part of Snayugatavata Chikitsa’ in tennis elbow treatment and to compare their relative effectiveness. Materials and methods: The study was an open-label, double-armed, prospectively designed, comparative clinical study with 60 patients with tennis elbow randomly allocated into two groups. Group I received Snayugatavata treatment protocol for 8 days, where Kottamchukkadi oleation and medicated bandage were administered for 7 consecutive days and a single sitting of Agnikarma was done on the 8th day. Group II received Agnikarma with Panchadhatu Shalaka (a five-metal alloyed thermal cautery instrument) alone in two sittings on the 1st and 8th days. Assessment was carried out on the 8th, 15th, 30th, and 90th days for five parameters, namely pain, tenderness, inability to do specific tasks, Cozen’s test, and Mill’s maneuver. Results: Both groups showed significant results in all five assessed parameters with P < 0.0001. On comparative analysis between the groups, Agnikarma alone was proved more effective than Snayugatavata Chikitsa with P < 0.0001 for all the parameters for 3 months. Conclusion: Agnikarma, as a stand-alone treatment, can be chosen to offer a simple, cost-effective, safe, and short-term treatment to cure the tennis elbow.

Abstract:

Yoga, meditation and Hasta Mudra Chikitsa (medication through the exercise or gesture of hands) known as spiritual activities in the past have been emerged as bases to maintain one’s health, peace and tranquility. Some people follow yoga, some focus on meditation and others apply “Hasta Chikitsa” or “Mudra”. They are separate traditional exercises. They require to spend 10 to 30 minutes once or twice a day for their optional exercise/s. It is proved that such practice has productive effect in different health treatments. This paper has applied the methods of observation, interview and literature review as qualitative paradigm in exploring their original roots of Vedic Sandhyopaasan. Twice born castes (Brahman, Chhetri and Baishya) of Nepali Hindu society has been found practicing all components of the exercises as a unified ritual of Sandhyopaasan. Upanayan (Bratabandha) ritual teaches Sandhyopaasan procedures for self control and self healing of the performers. Brahman is not eligible as Brahman without doing the ritual daily. However, this study has found that some Dalits have also been practicing Sandhyopaasan daily and feeling relaxed. Findings of this study show that Sandhyopaasan is a compact package of yoga, meditations and Hasta Chikitsa. Students and gurus of Vedas have been regularly following the compact package for inner peace and self control. Root of yoga, meditation and “Mudra” is Sandhyopaasan and this is the base of Hindu education system. The paper analyzes the ritual through Hindu educational perspective.

Abstract:

Vishnu began in public temples even before the Christian era. 'Bhitargaon' and the 'Deogarh’ monumental temples in the North are dedicated to Vishnu built during Gupta period in the 4th or 5th Century AD. Many temples have been built in subsequent periods by Kings and Vishnu tradition followers. Daily worship is done to him from the Vedic period. Temple worship took the Vedas as its principles, and was followed in two divisions known as Vaishnava and Saiva. Advaita, Dvaita, Visistadvaita, Idol worship were practiced. Saiva Agamas and Vaishnava Agamas are being followed in almost all the places in our country. As per Vaikhanasa sutra, those who are well versed with all the samskaras are eligible to do the pooja in Vaikhanasa Agama temples. Agama is based on Vedic mantras and one becomes eligible to read the Agama only after getting Upanayana Samskara. Further, the learner should attain at least a minimum of 9 years to have a good grasp of Agama Sastras and communicate the significance of Agama sastras to others.

Abstract:

Periarthritis of the shoulder joint is a painful, progressive, and disabling disease. The structures involved in the disease are joint capsules, tendons, ligaments, and bursae. The disease progresses through three unique stages: a stage of pain, a phase of stiffness, and a stage of recovery. In the conventional system, the treatment modalities involve using anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid injections in the initial phases and surgical decompression in the later stages. This only gives symptomatic relief and has its complications. The initial stages of the disease present with Amsa ruk (Shoulder Pain) and Amsasandhi Sopha (swelling of shoulder joint) of kapha pitta predominance with Raktadusti. The procedures like lepana, upanaha and internal medications adopted in this stage do not give permanent and complete relief from symptoms. Thus, by considering the dosha vitiation in the initial phases of the disease, Jalookavacharana (Leech Therapy) would be an appropriate intervention since it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Abstract:

Sandhi means joint. Most middle-aged and older adults experience degenerative joint disorders with symptoms such as swelling, pain on flexion, and extension. This disease, called sandhivata in Ayurveda, is one of the vatavyadhi. Symptoms of sandhigatavata exhibit apparent similarity with that of osteoarthritis, a degenerative disorder that occurs when articular cartilage wears down. According to epidemiological studies, the prevalence of osteoarthritis in India is observed in 22 -49% of the population. The present study checks the efficacy of the folklore medicine, Shigru as upanaha in Sandhigatavata. Vedanasamharikalp a in the paste form comprises the following ingredients: Shigru (Moringa oleifera), Saindhavalavana (rock salt). A single-subject clinical case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of vedhana samhari kalpa in sandhigatavata affecting janu sandhi. Vedanasamharikalpa lepa was freshly prepared and applied externally over the affected knee joints of the patient for 3 hrs daily, for 20 days. After the treatment, the patient experienced significant relief and observed visible reduction in predominant symptoms like janusandhishoola(pain), janusandhishotha (oedema), and janusandhistabdatha (stiffness). Vedanasamharikalpalepa is observed to provide relief from sandhigatavata and significantly reduce related symptoms like jaanusandhishoola (pain), jaanusandhishotha (oedema), and jaanusandhistabdhata (stiffness).

Abstract:

Achilles Tendinitis is otherwise called as Achilles Tendinopathy which causes pain and stiffness, swelling, thickening and weakness of achilles tendon, which worsens with activity, commonly seen in sports person. As per Ayurvedic parameters this condition can be correlated to Snayugata Vikara, which usually presents with Sthambha, Shula, Kriyavasakthi. Treatment include Snehana, Upanaha, Agnikarma, Bandhana and Mardana. In the contemporary science the treatment modalities available are RICE technique, hydrocortisone injection, radiant heat or diathermy, release of plantar fascia from tuberosity of calcaneus through surgery. In Susrutha Samhitha Agnikarma Chikitsa is explained for the par excellence for these conditions considering its Vatakapha Shamaka, Amapachaka property and also this is easy to perform. Agnikarma with the help of Panchadhathu Shalaka was already established with 65% of success rate in the management of Achilles tendinitis. The therapeutic effects of Agnikarma with Kshoudra includes relief of pain and muscle spasm, acceleration of healing, promotion of resolution of inflammation and increase in the range of movement of joint. This study is done by considering Vatakapha Shamaka, Amapachaka, Yogavahi properties of Kshoudra and also this was easy to perform with better cosmetic value. Hence the stagnation of current knowledge demanded an effective method to tackle the painful heel condition.

Abstract:

Greevasandhigata Vata is a form of Vata Vyadhi caused by the interference or entrance of vitiated Vata in Greeva Sandhi, leading to symptoms like Sandhishoola (pain in joint), Sandhishopa (sweeling in joint), Prasaran Aakunchnayo Pravariticha Savedana (restricted movement of joint) etc. Cervical Spondylosis is one of the leading disorders in older adults caused by degenerative changes in cervical spine vertebrae and causing symptoms like pain & restricted joint movement, etc., in the neck, which further leads to the struggle of the patients to fulfil their daily routine work. Patients of Cervical spondylosis, are bound to choose analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections and physiotherapy as conservative treatments to improve their quality of life. In the advanced stage, surgical treatments like spinal fusion, spinal decompression, etc., are the only options. However, these procedures do not fulfil the goal of patients because of the very high cost and therapeutic limitations. Even after surgery, patients have to take analgesics for longer duration. These drugs are also not free from adverse effects like gastritis, hyperacidity, nephrotoxicity, etc. Treatment modalities like Agnikarma, Nirgundyadi Upanaha and Shephalika Kwatha are the non-pharmacological and result oriented therapies, recommended in Ayurveda for such type of disease condition. These are proven to be Vatashamaka & Vedanashamaka in various contexts.

Abstract:

Durvadya Taila is medicated oil used in Ayurveda for Kacchu, Vicharchika and Pama (types of Skin diseases) which is caused by vitiated Kapha or Pitta Dosha. Durva is one of the classical drugs of herbal origin, for the management of different disease conditions. The aim of the present study is to do physico-chemical standards for above Durvadya Taila and its conversion into Durvadya Taila Cream. These two formulations have a special importance from pharmaceutical point of view when compared to usual Taila or cream. In present article, we are trying to study analytical results of Durvadya Taila w.s.r. to Durvadya Taila cream. The skin constitutes a major part of the body and serves as a dividing line between the individual and his environment. In the Ayurvedic classics, Bahir Parimarjana means, the medicine intended for external use only. For that purpose, in Ayurveda different forms of external applications are described for the convenience of treatment of different diseases. They are Lepa, Udvartana, Upanaha, Abhyanga, Malahara etc. Without defining creams under Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana, we can correlate Cream preparation with Lepa or Malahara Kalpana. Creams are those emulsions, which are either oil in-water or water-in-oil type. Durvadya Taila is medicated oil used in Ayurveda for Kacchu, Vicharchika and Pama which comes under Kushtha Rogadhikar.

Abstract:

The Agama is an age-old knowledge and sivagama is the book which removes the feces through knowledge and gives birth to the house. Manickavasagar’s statement that the Lord has the twenty-eight Agamas, which are saiva siddhanta texts and the precepts of Siddhanta Saivism, as his image, is “Agamam Aginindru Annippan Thal Vazhga” is a highlight of sivagama ideas. Here ‘Annipaan’ is waiting. It is the Kriyapada of the Sivagamas that speaks about Sivadīdīksha. In Kriyapada, when the souls attain shakti nipada, the miracle of appearing to them as gurumurthy and giving them religious special and naked initiations is spoken of. Initiation is the destruction of the stool and the giving of wisdom. This diksha is an important ritual taken up by all religions and the path to muthi. The upanayana ritual of wearing the sacred thread is the qualification for the recitation of the Vedas and the observance of the vedic discipline in the vedic system. In the same way, it is sivadīdīksha which creates the qualification for the recitation of thirumarais and sivagamas in saiva dharma and to carry forward saiva discipline. While deekshavidhi explains some explanations, Arumuga Navalar mentions in saivavina’s answer book about the special rule of initiation at the age of seven in Saivism. Even though the Guru preaches various mantras, the moola mantra is the thiruvainthazhutham “Shivayanam”, your name has not been forgotten in my tongue appar swamigal |nathan namam namasivayave| Sambandar also praises Thiruvainthazhuthu. It is the Kriyapada of the original Sivagamas of this study that gives the details of Sivadīksha. It is made clear that all Saiva samajists, from sivachariyars, should be initiated and should follow the principles of initiation. Shiva deeksha is associated with life and the steps of this initiation are that a person who is initiated by Shiva wears shiva symbols and performs panchakshara prayer and receives the muthi of Shiva and removes ignorance and attains knowledge. Contemporary Practices of Sivadheeksha The necessity of Sivadeeksha in the present context has also been highlighted.

Abstract:

Abstract According to the Navya Naiyāyikas, inference is the knowledge, which is produced out of consideration. But what is to be understood by the term ‘consideration’ or ‘parāmarśa’? According to them, parāmarśa or consideration is the factor through the operation of which the inferential conclusion can be attained. Parāmarśa has been defined as the knowledge of the existence of the hetu or reason in the pakṣa or subject, which reason is characterized by its being concomitant with the sādhya, the knowledge in the form of parāmarśa is actually caused by the knowledge of invariable concomitance of probans (hetu) with the probandum (sādhya) and the knowledge of the existence of the hetu in the subject (pakṣa). It has been said by Viśvanātha that the cognition of the existence of probans or hetu in the subject of inference along with the cognition of the prabans or hetu as pervaded by sādhya is called parāmarśa (pakṣasya vyāpyavṛttitvadhīḥ parāmarśa ucyate). The invariable co-existence in the form ‘where there is smoke, there is fire’ is known as vyāpti or invariable concomitance. Here the invariable coexistence (avyabhicārī sāhacarya) between the probans and probandum (i.e., smoke and fire) is the definition of vyāpti. The term ‘co-existence’ means remaining in the same locus of the probans with the probandum, which is not the counter positive of the absolute negation existing in the locus of the hetu. To Gangeśa, the knowledge of the co-existence of the probans and probandum along with the absence of the knowledge of deviation of the probans is the cause of ascertaining vyāpti. Repeated observations, of course, sometimes act as a promoter (prayojaka) in ascertaining vyāpti by removing the doubt of deviation. The doubt of deviation can be removed sometimes by Tarka or sometimes by the absence of the collocation of causes of doubt, which is called svataḥsiddhaḥ. Gangeśa admits sāmānyalakṣaṇā as a pratyāsatti in ascertaining vyāpti between smoke-in-general and fire-in-general. To him, the super-normal connection through universal (sāmānyalakṣaṇā pratyāsatti) has got a prominent role in ascertaining vyāpti. If somebody challenges about the validity of the syllogistic argument in the form “The mountain is fiery as it possesses smoke” (parvato vahnimān dhūmāt), the philosophers of Nyāya and Navya-nyāya persuasion will justify the same with the help of five constituents (avayava-s). The process is called parāthānumāna (syllogistic argument for making others understand). The constituents of a syllogism are proposition (pratijňā), reason (hetu), example (udāharaṇa), application (upanaya), and conclusion (nigamana).

When we search about ancient history of India, specially the history of Vedic Age, then we observe a monolithic history of the oppression and suppression of Women and Dalit.In the history of Ancient India in Rig Vedic and later Vedic period the society was developed on the basis of Brahmanical four fold system. In Rigvedic period there was some kind of mobility in this brahmonical four fold system and in that period varna of an individual was not hereditary. The upanayana of women was acknowledged or accepted in social life, that is the ten samaskaras were applicable to women also. Women could read vedas. They also could able to participate in political life and were able to choose their life partners. On the other hand Sudra Varna was mainly those Aryan tribes who were defeated during conflicts between themselves. They were also referred to as the Dasas and Dasyus in the Rigveda and were also included in the category of the Sudra varna, the lowest stratum of the varna hierarchy. In the later vedic period,the varna system or varna hierarchy started to be immobile and the specific varna of an individual started to be hereditary. After the Vedic age Jati or caste system was started. After the Vedic age a certain part of sudra varna was described as the untouchable or the fifth varna. Gradually the society started to exploit the women and the Sudras from their various rights and privileges. Women as a whole and women and men folk of sudra varna both were prohibited to read the Vedas and to get education. They were also deprived of the rights of observing various samaskaras. Gradually the sudra varna were being appointed to give service to the upper three varnas. On the other hand women were only used for the cause of reproduction and to give service to their families of in laws. In the ancient Literature, women were described as eligible for Sampradana to the Bridegroom with other mobile or immobile gifts such as cattle or other material objects. On the other side the chandalas, the cobblers, the sweepers were described as untouchable and were directed to live outside the pale of the varna system and outside the frontiers of villages. It was prohibited for higher varnas to touch and see the Untouchables. By doing these the higher varnas had to enunciate their varna status. But accepting their services was not anyway prohibited to the upper varnas. In ancient Hindu society various types of services from the untouchables were compulsory and to continue the reproduction system marriage was obligatory in state and society. So it can be said that suppression and exploitation of women and untouchables are the continuous process. Since ancient time. In colonial times there started the process of upliftment women through various social reform movements. Almost at the same period Jyotirao Phule and Sabitribai Phule – this couple tried to eradicate the untouchability from society and to uplift the status of Untouchables. In this present Research Project, we try to explain the historical background of the suppression and oppression of women and Untouchables in Indian Society

Abstract:

A fired building is best saved by pouring water”, in the same way tropical problems are successfully managed by tropical treatment rather than systemic treatment. Upanaha is an ideal tropical treatment. Pradeha, Sankara/Panda Sveda, Bandhana are three varieties of Upanaha. It helps in reducing Vata Dosha, Sheeta (coldness), Shoola (pain), Sthambha (stiffness), Gouravatha (heaviness). It induces sweating and brings Doshavilayana. Sveda helps in Gatravinamana (increase the flexibility of body). Upanaha there is a need for upanaha - a well known Ayurvedic tropical application to get evolved and adapt with changing time and easy practice, without changing its efficacy.

Abstract:

Swedana Karma is undertaken by inducing sweating from the application of heat. There are many methods used to achieve this, with Upanaha Swedana being one of them. Upanaha Swedana is a standard treatment modality used in Ayurveda for the management of pain and inflammation. It is a localized treatment wherein a combination of medicinal drugs are prepared, made into a poultice, heated and applied at the affected site. This is meant to reduce the local inflammation and act as a topical analgesic. The procedure is divided into three phases which are: Purva Karma (pre-therapy procedures), the preparation of the Upanaha Swedana material is done, Pradhana Karma (main therapeutic procedures) the prepared Upanaha Swedana material is applied to the patient and Paschat Karma (post-therapy procedures) after waiting the specified times, the Upahana Swedana is removed following proper procedures. The present conceptual study was done based on the need of the day to elaborate the process of conducting Upanaha Swedana. For this, various Ayurvedic texts, digital libraries referencing Samhita were searched and the following headings were selected, types of data, types of reports and functionalities. This article seeks to explore this treatment modality and outline the general approach to be followed while conducting the procedure of Upanaha Swedana.

Abstract:

Upanayana saṃskāra (thread ceremony), one among the Ṣoḍaṣa saṃskāras (sixteen ritual) described in Indian culture - Hindu philosophy, is the right through which a man is initiated into the vows of the guru, the Vedas (wisdom), the restrains (penance), observances, values and vicinity of God (ideals). It is an important saṃskāra performed in the crucial adolescent age of an individual, with a view to boost the physical, psychological, moral, social and spiritual life of an individual. In the present scenario, the increasing use of modern gadgets, indiscreet use of social media, inadequate moral education have resulted in lowered concentration levels, diminished memory, deteriorating practical skills besides increased stress-anxiety-depression levels in adolescents. Upanayana saṃskāra is being observed just as a symbolic ceremony in most part of the society who perform it, while only very selected few have understanding of the core intention of it as included in the ancient Indian classics. This article is an earnest attempt to briefly apprehend and analyze a few aspects of the Upanayana saṃskāra such as the season and time of performance, the age, the Kaupīna, Yagnopavita, Sandhyāvandanam, Gāyatri japa and such others and their contribution in enhancing the physical, intellectual, psychological and social wellbeing with specific reference to Indian classical Vedic literature. As Vedic literature strongly described, meaningful performance of Upanayana saṃskāra followed by regular practice of Sandhyāvandanam will not only enhance scholastic performance but also bring about comprehensive development of an individual and discipline in the society.

Abstract:

Untouchability is one of the worst features of the Hindu Society. In the process of evolution of caste on the principles of graded chathurvarna (four Varnas) such as Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra the vast body of people known as Panchama, exterior, Antyajas or scheduled castes fell outside the purview of chaturvarna. They were denied the rights enjoyed by Brahmin's, Kshatriya's. Vaishya's and Upanayana even they were prohibited to perorm upanayana to wear sacred thread, learning Vedas, doing trade and other clean occupations. They were forced to live on the outskirts of village, thus restricting their movement. In this way, they were segregated and become the Anthyajas or Untouchables. The untouchables (Panchamas or Avarnas) had no share in social, political and judiciary power.
