Abstract

Ayurveda is not only the medical science but it is complete science of life including aspect of health; hence many of its aspects are widely seen, even in non-medical religious texts of Hindu culture. It is an essence which emerged out with God Dhanwantri at time of Samudramanthan. Kashyap Samhita, the only available classical source book on Kaumarbhritya, is presented in the form of compilations of teachings of Acharya Kashyap by his disciple Vriddha Jivaka. With the lapse of time, the book was lost then resurrected by Vatsya, who procured it from Anayasa. This article reviews the wonderous Siddhi sthana of this ancient text.

Keywords: Acharya Kashyap, Vatsya, Kashyap Samhita, Vriddha Jivaka, Siddhi Sthana.
