To illuminate their excellent functions, Saratah Pariksan is explained in Ayurvedic literatures. Saratah Pariksan is examined according to the special features of each Dhatu in the individuals. Thus in Asthisara individual, function of Asthi dhatu is (Visudhatar) excellent in comparison to rest. They are resembles by robust, long bones & joints with firm body. One research was performed to establish the Lakshanas of Asthisara purusa by comparing with Anyasara purusa according to Sara pariksana according to the Samhitas as well as the measurement of their bones & joints and other variables. We observed that, in Asthisara persons length of bones, width of joints and head circumference is significant than in Anyasara persons.
