[Charaka Samhita. Edited by Jibananda Vidyasagara.]Calcutta: Sarasvati Press, 1877.Sanskrit text. Authorities vary as to the date of Charaka. He is said to have lived at times varying between 800 BCE and 78 CE. The Samhita, or Sanhita, is one of the most ancient and complete systems of Hindu medicine to have survived. It is arranged in the form of dialogues between master and pupil and is divided into eight books. Charaka’s writing is superior to that of Susruta in the accuracy of his descriptions. What Susruta is to surgery, Charaka is to medicine. Subjects: ANCIENT MEDICINE › India, Medicine: General Works Permalink: historyofmedicineandbiology.com/id/7973 |
