This book contains 160 chapters dealing with Mahārogasthāna (great diseases), Kṣudrarogasthāna (minor diseases), Śalyasthāna (extraction of extraneous matter from the body) and Uttarasthāna (diseases of the head). Pālakāvya taught this Āyurvedasaṃhitā to Rāmapāda, King of Aṅgadeśa. (Agni Purāṇa).

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
