Agnivesh tantra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agnivesha tantra is a compilation of the teachings of Ayurveda as given by the Sage Bharadwaja by Agnivesa.

Later Charaka modified the Agnivesha tantra in his own way with a new collection of thoughts and material regarding Ayurveda, available at that time.[1] The Charaka Samhita is a modified form of the teachings of Agnivesha, which was collected by him after grasping the knowledge of Ayurveda from Sage Bharadwaj.
