About the book
Charaka Samhita as I Understood It, Volume 3 presents Prof. Dr. Shivenarain N. Gupta’s commentary on two sections of this classical Ayurvedic text. It covers the study of disease through Nidanasthana and the assessment of prognosis through Indriyasthana.
The volume includes:
- Nidanasthana: Chapters 1–8, dealing with the causes, development and recognition of disease.
- Indriyasthana: Chapters 1–12, dealing with prognostic signs and the assessment of life-threatening conditions.
For BAMS students and teachers, this volume offers a focused companion to these sections of Charaka Samhita. Its interpretive approach reflects the author’s teaching practice of explaining ancient concepts through modern reasoning.
