AYURVED SAMHITA
Ayurved samhita and siddhant
The Great Three Classics of Ayurveda
The basic principles of Ayurved were in a premature stage during the vedic period. The seers like Charak, Sushrut and Vagbhata created ayurvedic classics which clearly established the ayurvedic principles. During the same period the Takshashila and the Nalanda Universities were in full bloom and were attracting international attention. In short this was the golden age of Ayurved.
The Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita and Ashtang Sangraha form the Brihattrayi. These ae the three major texts for the study of Ayurveda.
The text written in those days would be in the form of sutras or some other rhyming literature, which were termed as Tantra, or in the form of bhashya/commentary or the prose type, which was termed as samhita.
Charaka Samhita
The charaka Samhita is Originally written by Agnivesh redacted by charak Completed by Dridhabala.
The book Preches that practise of science should be done only after complete Knowledge of its theory and principal.It present most of the theriotical edifice of Ayurveda and Concentrate on the branch of Ayurveda Called Kayachikitsa which include diagnosis of dieses along with treatment aspect but According to Ayurveda, treating any form of dieases is secondary to maintaining Health.
Shusrut Samhita
The Sharngadhara Samhita is a concise exposition of Ayurvedic principles. Its author, Sharngadhara, has offered his work as a digested version of Ayurvedic knowledge, deliberately omitting much detail because the works of The Great Three were already widely known. This treatise is thought to have originated in the 15th century AD. The Sharngadhara Samhita is prized for its enumeration and description of numerous pharmacological formulations used in panchakarma and contains the first textual elaboration of diagnosis by means of the pulse. Its subject matter is again the field of kayachikitsa.
