The legacy of Vāgbhaṭa
Valiathan, M. S.
The legacy of Vāgbhaṭa - 1st ed - Hyderabad Universities Press 2015 - 920
Vagbhata completes the “Great Three” (Brhatrayi) of Ayurveda, with his predecessors, Caraka and Susruta. His identity and period are controversial but a major section of the scholarly community believes that he was a native of Sindh, who lived in the sixth century and write Astangahrdayam and Astangasngraha. The two texts frankly acknowledge the authority of Samhitas of Caraka and Susruta and closely follow in the footsteps of the earlier masters. The Legacy of Vagbhata is based on a study of Astangahrdayam and employs a thematic approach with the plentiful use of tables. As in the earlier volumes on Caraka and Susruta, great care has been taken in this volume on Vagbhata to maintain fidelity to the original text while ensuring easy readability for the students of Ayurveda, medicine and the sciences.
Section.I: Ayurveda an overview, Section.II: Healthy Living, Section.III: Drinks and food, Section.IV: Human Body, Section.V: Development, Structure and Function, etc.
