Abstract

The Ayurveda system of medicine is based on the Basic Principles which are in the coded form mainly in the three great treatises namely the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita and the Vagbhata Samhita. The seers of yore have used their own particular style of narration which needs to be comprehended properly to bring about the desired levels of the theoretical and practical know-how in the Ayurveda scholars. The Charaka Samhita Sootra Sthana is unique as it presents a methodology based on the quartet (a group of four). Each of the seven quartets paves the way for the understanding of all the Ayurveda principles of health care. Therefore it is mandatory for an aspiring Ayurveda physician and academician along with the research scholars to decipher the quartet code of the Charaka Samhita.
