sanskrit

"I am the supreme and original god in the form of Dhanvantari. It is I who ward off disease and decay from the celestials. Formerly an inmate of the region of heaven, now I have incarnated on earth with the view to teach the Science of Surgery with all its allied branches of study to men."

sanskrit

In the present science (ayurveda), the Purusha (self-conscious organic individual) is described as the resultant of the combination of the soul and the five primary material principles. All medical acts such as, surgical operations, administration of medicinal remedies and applications of alkaline substances, or cauterisation, etc.), are restricted to the Purusha alone. Why is it so? The answer is, simply because the created world is composed of two distinct classes, such as the mobile and the immobile.These two classes, in their turn, are further sub-divided for the purposes of the science of medicine into the two orders, agneya (hot) and Saumya (cool). Hence the world is composed of five material principles, though characterised by the twofold virtues, agneya (hot) and Saumya (cool).

sanskrit

A disease due to an extraneous blow or hurt is called agantuka. Diseases due to irregularities in food or drink, or incidental to a deranged state of the blood, or of the bodily humours acting either singly or in concert, are called Sharira. The mental disorders arise from emotions such as anger, grief, fear, exhilaration, dejection, jealousy, envy, despondency, malice, desire, greed, and the like, which are the result of desires and aversions. The natural (innate) conditions, however, are hunger, thirst, aging, death, and sleep.
