Abstract

Caraka Samhita harks back to a conference of sages in Himalayan Valley, where the topic of discussion was mounting burden of illness and suffering in the world Relief, if not freedom, from suffering has been an ideal since ancient times. The Ayurvedic Canvas, vast as it was, gave preeminence to the storm of interactions between the world with and without the human body, to sustain so grand a theme, a strong philosophical foundation had to be laid in form of two central doctrines – Pancabhuta and Tridosha which broadly relate to structure and function while the homology between the structural materials within the body and outside in the physical world, is the theme of Pancabhuta doctrine, the functional equilibrium inside the body is explained by Tridosha. Two subsidiary themes – Ritucarya and Vegas deal with the harmonization of human life with time and place, and the functional significance of bodily urges.
