The Ashtanga Sangrah by Acharya Vagbhata is a revered Ayurvedic text that stands as a bridge between the classical teachings of Charaka and Sushruta. Its Sutra Sthana, the foundational section, encapsulates core principles of Ayurveda in a concise yet profound manner, making it an essential subject for every Ayurvedic learner. The thirty chapters of the Sutra Sthana cover the science of health preservation, disease prevention, seasonal and daily regimens, therapeutic protocols, pharmacology, clinical principles, and ethical practice.
This book, Sankshipt Ashtanga Sangrah (Sutra Sthana), is a sincere effort to present the ancient wisdom of the Sutra Sthana in a simplified, structured, and student-friendly format. The content has been carefully curated to meet the acadernic and practical needs of undergraduate students of Ayurveda in India. Authentic Sanskrit shlokas have been quoted directly from the text, with clear and concise English explanations to aid understanding. At every stage, the integrity of classical knowledge has been maintained, while ensuring clarity and accessibility for the modern learner.
Each chapter elaborates on key Ayurvedic concepts such as dosha-dhatu-mala theory, diagnostic principles, Panchakarma, Rasayana, ethics of Vaidya, and seasonal adaptations, with a focus on real-life application in clinical practice. Ayurvedic correlations and implications in therapeutic decision-making have also been included to deepen student insight. The language used is intentionally simple and direct, suitable for foundational learning without compromising depth.
This book aims not only to support examination preparation but also to cultivate a deep respect for the preventive, promotive, and curative dimensions of Ayurveda. It aspires to guide students on their path to becoming insightful and responsible Ayurvedic practitioners, rooted in classical wisdom and relevant to contemporary healthcare needs.
I express heartfelt gratitude to Wordveris Publications, Solapur for their invaluable support in bringing this book to publication. Their continued commitment to advancing quality Ayurvedic literature for students and professionals is sincerely appreciated.
