There are various forms of Suvarnaprashana which are practiced by Ayurvedic Vaidyas. Kashyapa Samhita is an ancient Ayurvedic text which is having great importance in Ayurveda because of its very rich ancient knowledge in regards to Kaumarabhritya synonymously can be called as Ayurvedic Pediatrics.
