Sharira-sthana, the third book of the ancient Sushruta-Samhita, unfolds classical Indian anatomy and embryology with surgical precision. Composed in the formative centuries of Ayurveda, it catalogs bodily structure, conception and fetal development, the seven dhatus (tissues), body measurements, bones and organs, and stages of life and death. Themes include the intimate link of form and function, classification of constitutions (prakriti), growth and degeneration, and causes of disease and mortality. Rooted in clinical surgery yet deeply philosophical, Sharira-sthana shaped millennia of Indian medical thought. Today it remains relevant for understanding traditional concepts of development, personalized medicine, preventive care, and the historical foundations of anatomy and embryology in integrative healthcare.
