SHARANGDHAR SAMHITA: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Dr. Yashwant Kumar Parmar*, Prof. Avadhesh Bhatt and Dr. Kishwar Khan
Abstract
Ayurveda is an appendage of Atharvaveda. The knowledge of
Ayurveda comes to us through many Samhitas. The word
"Samhita" gives a sense of the antiquity and authenticity of Ayurveda.
Ancient scholars have basically divided Ayurvedic literature into two
parts: 1. Brihatrayi (Charakasamhita, Sushrutasamhita and
Asatangasangraha). 2. Laghutrayi: (Madhavanidan, Sharangdhar
Samhita, and Bhavaprakash). Shargadharacharya has collected most
of the subject matter available in this Samhita from ancient texts like
the Charaka Samhita, the Sushruta Samhita, and some other texts of
Rasashastra.
Keywords: Sharangdhar samhita, Dosha, Dravya, Roga, Rasa and Kwatha.
