Abstract

Ayurveda system of medicine is believed as divine and has eternality in decent to earth. This decent underwent change, fulfilled the needs of the life sciences and refined many times through the philosophical thought of schools to attain the present forms of Samhita. This is land mark change where in the then prevailing schools of thoughts (Darshana) churned the knowledge obtained in the form of tri-sutra Ayurveda much of similarity like the Tantra believed to be 6000 to 4000 BC to a more evolved form and converted them into Samhita by the end of 300 BC. One such metamorphosis happened, which the historians call as post Shodala period or simply the medieval period the post 12th Century AD and this period is learnt as era of Laghu Trayee; Madhava Kara, Sharangadhara and Bhavamishra works were composed Madavana Nidana, Sharangadhara Samhita and Bhava Prakasha respectively; underneath this period the legendary commentaries of Chakrapanidutta, Dalhana, Arunadatha and Hemadri for the classical Bihat Trayee was at rampant pace and critical scientific analysis went on. Here is a humble attempt made to sketch out the Respiration system in relevance to its anatomy and physiological relevance by accessing the ‘Sharangadhara Samhita and its commentators’. The opinions of commentaries of Sharangadhara Samhita are of importance to arrive at any conclusions
