Jvaranirṇaya (ज्वरनिर्णय) is the name of an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers).—The Jvaranirṇaya belongs to sixteenth century CE and is written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in 365 verses divided into five sections. The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. The context of fever caused due to the vitiation of all the three doṣas (sannipāta-jvara) is elaborated in great detail and dealt exclusively as a separate chapter. The description of types of pacifications (upaśaya) is explained with examples. The concept of “prakṛti samā samavētā and vikṛti viṣama samavēta” and bad omen (ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇā) related to the symptoms are some of the other interesting aspects of the text. These features of the monograph make it worth exploring further.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
