Kasyapa-Samhita or Vrddhajivakiya Tantra

 
P.V. Tewari (Author)
Synopsis Kasyapa-Samhita, a treatise of ancient period has remained the only source book on Kaumarbhrtya till 19 century AD. Though initial fabrication of sections and number of chapters of each section is in tune with Caraka-Samhita, however, subjects dealt are original, some of which are unparalleled. Hitherto only one Hindi translation with commentary is available, which does not quench the thirst of knowledge of those not so well-versed with Samskrta and / or Hindi. Present edition bridges this gap. Besides, in the commentary views of four important books of ancient period i.e. Caraka-Samhita, Susruta-Samhita, Astanga-Sangraha and Astanga-Hrdaya are presented under specific headings of the subjects of Kasyapa-Samhita, which provide readers an opportunity to understand the subject of that era in its entirety as-well-as specific views of these authors separately. Introduction of the book presents some original thoughts about Kasyapa / Kasyapa and also period of this book. Besides text and the commentary. The appendixes are likely to be very useful not only to lovers of Ayurveda but also to the students, teachers and research workers.
