Book Description

Inroduction This book covers the 30 chapters of Sutrasthana of Charaka Samhita, Charaka Samhita is a popular Ayurvedic treatise. As the name indicates, it is a compilation of Ayurveda lessons comprising various aspects including basic concepts (Sutra sthana), diagnosis of diseases (Nidana sthana), treatment concepts (Chikitsa sthana) etc. and is written by Charaka. (Charaka Samhita means treatise written by Charaka"). Acharya Charaka redacted the treatise 'Agnivesha Tantra' which has become popular in the name of "Charaka Samhita'. This means the text 'Agnivesha Tantra' written by Agnivesha was re-modulated by Charaka, which later came to be called 'Charaka Samhita'. Travee) Churaka Samhita is the first and foremost authentic treatise of Ayurveda and is one of the 'greatest trio' (Brihat- Master Charaka was so keen to help people with Ayurveda that he used to roam from one place to the other continuously. Hence he got the name Charaka Charati iti Charakaha - One who moves continuously. Charaka Samhita Charaka Samhita, a part of Brihat Trayi or greater trio of Ayurveda occupies a significant place in the history of world's medical science. Atreya Punarvasu has many intelligent students. Punarvasu was the most respected, learned Guru (teacher) and preacher of Ayurveda. Among the clan of his elite students Agnivesha was the best. According to the directions and teachings of his teacher Punarvasu Atreya, Agnivesha recorded, documented and composed his work on Ayurveda. It was called Agnivesha Tantra. It was subsequently redacted by Charaka which in due course of time got popular in the name "Charaka Samhita'. This Charaka Samhita was further redacted by Dridhabala. In Charaka Samhita, we can find that justice has been done in covering all the aspects and 8 branches of Ayurveda, But the emphasis has been given in covering the concepts of Kaya Chikitsa (General medicine) in detail. That is why. Charaka Samhita is considered to be the best reference and authentic text of Kaya Chikitsa, More than 40 commentaries are written on Charaka Samhita. It is translated into all the Indian languages. It is also translated into many foreign languages including Persian, Simhali, Nepali, Arabic etc.

Preface Many Academic Fiests from Charaka Samhita Charaka Sutra Sthana Chapter 1 First ever medical conference - The meeting of the sages in the Himalayas could be the first ever conference held for a medical purpose, ever known to mankind. First representative for a medical cause Sage Bharadwaja could well be the first ever representative selected to gather knowledge related to a medical cause from a higher authority, First ever celestial medical guide who taught an earthly being-Lord Indra would well be the first ever celestial medical guide after having taught Ayurveda to an earthly being, sage Bharadwaja. First ever instance of inter-terrain knowledge transfer in medical science - Sage Bharadwaja bringing the knowledge of Ayurveda from heaven to the earth could have marked the first event of inter-terrain knowledge transfer in medical science wherein Ayurveda came down from the celestial world to the mortal world for the benefit of mankind. First lessons of Ayurveda on Earth Sage Ilharadwaja teaching Ayurveda to his students and other sages were probably the first lessons of Ayurveda on earth. First ever medical dictation - Sage Atreya's teachings to his disciples including Agnivesha could be the first ever instance of dictation of notes related to a medical science, though not with that intention. Agnivesha and other students documenting the teachings gave the purpose and shape to Atreya's dictation. First documentation of Ayurveda in a written form - Agnivesha, student of master Atreya could have been the first ever student on Earth to record and document the medical knowledge (of Ayurveda) in a written form. First six books of an Ayurvedic library and first medical books to be written in author's name - Below mentioned are the first six books of an Ayurvedic library, any medical science in fact. These are also the first medical treatises which were written and published in the author's name. This reflected the trust the teachers had on their students and the liberty and loyalty given to the students to publish their works in their name. This also reflected the goodness, selflessness and humbleness of the Ayurvedic teachers.
