Abstract

Ayurveda, “the science of life”, is an outcome of studies; inventions; scientific researches compiled thousand of years back by three eminent vaidya-Sushruta, Charaka, Vagbhatta. Depending upon the availability and complete knowledge of all the eight divisions of ayurveda the trio of creations of acharya Sushruta, Charaka, and Vagbhatta is regarded as Brihattrayi. A sound knowledge of rachana shareera is the sine qua non of medical studies: be it ayurvedika or any other. It is impossible to comprehend even a bit of this very complex science of healing art without this basic knowledge. Dictionary meaning of the verb “to compare” stands for “to find out which things are common and which one differ”. Comparison is an intellectual and creative activity done to know the different aspects about a particular subject. The the point of difference requires enhance study and further clarification of topics of Shareera, but described in sthana other than Shareerasthana. Though the topographic anatomy of almost all the organs is mentioned along-with description of their diseases and diseases traveling to surrounding organs (if neglected). Yet the anatomy of certain organs is mentioned specifically in other Sthana’s.
