As per Chandogya Upnishad (6.15.1) at the time of death, the motor senses Karmaindriyas (Vak Vriti) merges with sensory senses Manovriti – Gnanaindriyas) along with mind intellect, memory and ego and this merges with Pranavritti (Pran Vayu and Udan Vayu) and finally this Pranavritti merges with Tej (Tejas) in the body and leaves the body to merge with Sat in the atmosphere.
Therefore, death requires presence of Tejas in the body. If by any medical intervention, Tejas can be suppressed death can be postponed.
In hypothermia (body temperature less than 35oC), Tejas is suppressed and, therefore, life can be preserved indefinitely till Tejas is brought back into the body.
This explains how a dead person at the time of death, if frozen, can be revived even after days after defrosting.
As per Jain scriptures, the Manovritti (Gnanaindriyas) with mind, intellect, ego and memory) is formed from Manas within 48 minutes of death.
That means after the Vak (motor senses) merges with Manas (sensory senses); for up to 48 minutes, Prana does not leave the body and hence Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation can be successful for up to 48 minutes after cardiac arrest.
CPR involves revival of Vyana Vayu which in turn revives Prana Vayu and Udana Vayu which has not yet left the body by merging into Tejas
