Entitled "Page of text from the Susrutasamhita, an ayurvedic textbook, on various surgical procedures and surgical instruments. The text presents itself as the teachings of Dhanvantari, King of Kasi (Benares) to his pupil Susruta." The Sushruta Samhita is an ancient Sanskrit text on medicine and surgery, and one of the most important such treatises on this subject to survive from the ancient world. The Compendium of Su?ruta is one of the foundational texts of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. The main classical Ayurveda treatises begin with legendary accounts of the transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to sages, and thence to human physicians. Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two millennia. Some scholars assert that Ayurveda originated in prehistoric times,and that some of the concepts of Ayurveda have been discovered since the times of Indus Valley Civilization and earlier.
