SCHOLARS IN AYURVEDA

Brahma is said to be the most knowledgeable person in every science subject. Also he is said to be the first former of Ayurveda. He wrote the first book on Ayurveda i.e. Brahmasanhita.

'Daksha Prajapati' and 'Bhaskara' were the first persons who got knowledge from Brahma about Ayurveda. There was dominance of rules (Siddantha) in tradition of Daksha and in Bhaskara's tradition treatment (Chikitsa) was dominant. The short description of some of the legends are as follows:

BHARADWAJ:

He was the first person who learnt Ayurveda from Indra and educated the mankind.

AATREYA:

He was the Guru (teacher) of Agnivesha who created CharakSanhita's original Novel 'Agniveshatantra', and Bhed etc. He was also recognized by the name Punarvasu and Chandrabhag.

AGNIVESH:

Agnivesh was foremost among the disciples of Atreya and the author of the Agnivesh - tantra. Agnivesha is mentioned in Sarngaravadi, Aswadi, Gargadi and Tikakitavadi Ganas of Panini's Astadhyayi.

CHARAKA:

On the second stratum stands Charaka who was the first man to refine the treatise of Agnivesha thoroughly and enlarge it with his interpretations and annotations. His contributions in this respect were so spectacular that the original treatise in its new form began to be known on the name of Charaka himself instead of the original author.

DRUDHABALA:

Drudhabala, son of Kapilabala and resident of Pancanadapura reconstructed the Charaka Sanhita, which was deficient in its one-third part e.g. 17 chapters in Chikisitaasthana and entire sections of Kalpa and Siddhi. He completed the Sanhita in these respects by taking relevant materials from several treatises (then available).

BHAAV MISHRA:

Bhaav Mishra, the son of Latkan Mishra is the writer of this Novel. He was a Brahmin by cast. Keeping similarity to ancient Sanhitas, he introduced new thoughts and Dravyas. It is the last and important Novel of Laghutrai.
