The Compendium of Susruta is one of the foundational texts of Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine), alongside the Caraka-Samhita, the Bhe/a-Samhita, and the medical portions of the Bower Manuscript.(I2) tt is one of the two foundational Hindu texts on medical profession that have survived from ancient India, 4 ‘The Susrutasamhitd is of great historical importance because it includes historically unique chapters describing surgical training, instruments and procedures.(21[5] Contents History Date ‘Authorship ifliation Manuscripts and transmission Contents Scope Chapters Prevention versus cure Human skeleton Surgery Medicinal herbs Reception Transmission outside India Modern translations Seo also Notes References Bibliography External links History Date ‘The early scholar Rudolf Hoernle proposed that siven that the author of Satapatha Brahmana ~ an ancient Vedic text, was aware of Sushruta doctrines, hitpsson wikipedia orgirklSushruta_Samiita Ancient qualifications of a Nurse ‘That person alone is fit to nurse or to attend the bedside of a patient, who is cool-headed and pleasant in his demeanor, does not speak ill of any body, is strong and attentive to the ane 1010372018 Sushila Sambite- Wikipedia those Sushrata doctrines should be dated based on | requirements of the sick, and strictly and indefatigably follows the composition date of Satapatha Brahmana.”| The | the instructions of the physician. composition date of the Brahmana is itself unclear, added Hoernle, and he estimated it to be about the sixth century BCE.)

Tipton in a 2008 historical perspectives review, states that uncertainty remains on dating the text, how many authors contributed to it and when.
