To sum up, the Jīvānandana Nāṭaka of Ānandarāya Makhin has been structured almost like an Ayurvedic text. Ānandarāya Makhin’s confidence in his audience/readers does not go futile; even a layman who does not know anything about medicine, can easily follow the principles of Āyurveda and also its application. A medical text has been quite interestingly structured in the form of a nāṭaka which makes it easily understandable. In spite of such an involvement with Āyurveda the drama does not lose its merit as a nāṭaka; it has been made all the more relishable as it would be shown in the sixth chapter which deals with the dramatic elements of Jīvānandana Nāṭaka.
