Sutra Sthana forms the primary foundation of the
Ashtanga Hridaya Sutra Sthana, the classical Ayurvedic text by Acharya Vagbhata. It has 30 chapters related to the major theoretical underpinning principles of Ayurveda, which primarily guide healthy living, prevention of diseases, and complete healing. The vital aspects covered include some basic terms like doshas, dhatus, malas, daily and seasonal routines, food, and causes of disease. It is poetic, asserting a balanced lifestyle, moral conduct, and harmonization with nature. This Sutrasthana is both philosophical and practical, serving as a preliminary basis for both clinical applications and deeper Ayurvedic studies in this context. It has all the data with clarity, succinctness, and applicability to the practitioner and seeker of this ancient health wisdom.
