The literature related to Dravyaguna is generally known as "Nighantu. Roots of the word Nighantu lie in nigama which means a secretive thing. Nighantu is a Sanskrit term for a traditional collection of words, grouped into thematic categories, often with brief annotations. Kaiyadevanighantu written by Kaiyadeva describes the properties of drugs of diverse origin and Ayurvedic dietetics. It was composed during A.D. 1450. It is also known as Pathyapathyavibödhaka.
Kaiyadevanighantu has a significant place in Ayurvedic Materia Medica. In continuation of work on English translation of ancient Ayurvedic nighantu, we are happy to present the work in front of Ayurvedic Fraternity. I sincerely hope that the humble effort shall be accepted by the scholars. Suggestions are invited for improving the viability of the book. Lastly, my sincere thanks to Mr. Ajay Gupta, Chakhambha Orientalia for the continuous help and inputs for making the project viable.
