In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyPūrvarūpa (पूर्वरूप):—A Sanskrit technical term translating to “prodrome”, referring to one of the “five characteristics of diagnosis” (pañcalakṣaṇanidāna). It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. These five characteristics are regarded as very important clues for diagnosis (nidāna) within Āyurveda.
Source: Indian Journal of History of Science: Jvaranirnaya: a rare monograph on diagnosis of fevers from the pre-colonial eraPūrvarūpa (पूर्वरूप) refers to “prodromal symptoms (of fever)”, according to the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. [...] Pṛthakjāta here means “caused by single Doṣa specifically”. The cause, prodromal symptoms (pūrvarūpa), symptoms and types that manifests due to the involvement or vitiation of a single doṣa , two doṣa , three doṣa and fever due to extrinsic causes are mentioned in this section. This section also deals with latent fevers and the time taken for relief from different types of fevers.
