REVIEW ARTICLE ON CONTRIBUTION OF "ASTANGA SAMGRAHA" IN AGADTANTRA

Dr. Swati A. Sawarkar, Dr. Ranjeet Deshmukh

Abstract :

The knowledge of ‘Ayurveda’ came from Lord ‘Brahma’.The original form of Ayurveda was incorporated in ‘Astanga Ayurveda’. The ‘Astanga Samgraha’ was written by Vagbhata, which gives clear evidence regarding existence of ‘Damstra’ ‘Visa Vairodhikam’ ‘Agadatantra’ is also an important anch among them which deals with the diseases and treatment due to poison. In Ayurveda, it has been mentioned vividly with the concept of various Antidotes and their use in the treatment of different types of poisoning. In ‘Astanga Samgraha’ the knowledge or concept regarding ‘Damstra’/’Agada Tantra’ is mentioned scattered. So that, it will be hard for someone to find the matters according to his needs. It is an era of super specialization and advanced techniques, so it is very necessary that ‘Ayurveda’ also be updated keeping similarity with, the changing time and need of the people. In my present work, I have collected all the concepts of ‘Agadatantra’ from all parts of ‘Astanga samgraha’ and arranged the matters in the form of Trisutra.
