Edited With -AYURVEDA TATTVA SANDIPIKA Hindi Commentary, Scientific Analyses, Notes Etc. Susruta samhita is one of the two ancient,encyclopedia and authoritative classical books of Indian Medicine. It is one of the few books that have lived a life of about two milleniums. Its survival for such a long period becomes quite conspicuously surprising when our day to day experience is that in our modern library of hundreds of thousands of volumes, a book is hardly extant for a period of even half a century. The comparative longevity of such books can be explained if we refer to OSLER's classification of authors. He groups them in three classes-creator, transmuter and transmitter. The first is the instinctive, inspired, original and intellectual type. He is rare; his work remains long lived rather eternal and fountain-head of future generation. Susruta Samhita is the Creation of the sage surgeon of the first type. somebody may raise the question that there may be some older Textbook other than susruta samhita and it must be given the place of veneration. The reply will retionalize our justification in bestowing the prime place to susruta samhita in surgery. There may be scattered surgical knowledge, experience and practice preceding the age of complication of Susruta Samhita but to systematic and put it on a scientific level so that generalization and progress may be possible, needed the learning and experience of a creative personality of the author of susruta samhita.
