Often referred to as "the heart or essence of the eight branches of Ayurveda," the Ashtanga Hridaya is a fundamental Ayurvedic text. It was written by the scholar Vagbhata in the seventh century CE and provides a thorough overview of Ayurvedic concepts in a clear, poetic style. The most well-known and thought to be the only comprehensive surviving commentary on the traditional Ayurvedic text Ashtanga Hridaya, written by Vagbhata, is the Sarvanga Sundari (meaning "complete beauty" or "perfect beauty"). Arunadatta, a Bengali Ayurvedic scholar who lived in the 12th and 13th centuries AD, wrote the commentary. The foundational first part of the Ashtanga Hridayam, a significant Ayurvedic classical text written by Vagbhata in the seventh century CE, is called the Ashtanga Hridayam Sutrasthana. This section is essential for outlining the fundamental ideas, preventive health recommendations, and ethical framework of Ayurveda. More than 7,000 straightforward, easily comprehensible poetic Sanskrit verses (shlokas) make up the entire text, including the Sutrasthana. The present work is unique and pioneer in carrying out Sanskrit to English translation of The Sarvanga Sundari Commentary of Sutrasthana of Ashtanga Hridaya. Sanskrit to English translation of the fundamental verses of Ashtanga Hridaya has been included as well.
