Sushruta Samhita
इह तु वर्षाशरद्धेमन्तवसन्तग्रीष्मप्रावृषः षडृतवो भवन्ति, दोषोपचयप्रकोपोपशमनिमित्तं; ते तु भाद्रपदाद्येन द्विमासिकेन व्याख्याताः; तद्यथा- भाद्रपदाश्वयुजौ वर्षाः, कार्तिकमार्गशीर्षौ शरत्, पौषमाघौ हेमन्तः, फाल्गुनचैत्रौ वसन्तः, वैशाखज्येष्ठौ ग्रीष्मः; आषाढश्रावणौ प्रावृडिति ॥१०॥
"Here, there are six seasons: Vasanta (Spring), Greeshma (Summer), Varsha (Monsoon), Sharad (Autumn), Hemanta (Pre-Winter), and Shishira (Winter)." "These six seasons are described as being related to the balancing of doshas (bodily humors), their aggravation, and their pacification." "They are divided into two-month periods, starting from Bhadrapada and Ashwin for Varsha (Monsoon), Kartika and Margashirsha for Sharad (Autumn), Pausha and Magha for Hemanta (Pre-Winter), Phalguna and Chaitra for Vasanta (Spring), and Vaishakha and Jyeshtha for Greeshma (Summer)." "The Ashadha and Shravan months correspond to the Prāvṛṣa (Monsoon) season."
