HISTORY / ORIGIN OF AYURVEDA / AYURVEDAVATARANAM

Lord Brahman, recalling to his mind the science of life (Ayurveda), taught it to Daksha (Prajapathi). He taught it to Ashwini Kumaras(twins), who in their turn taught it to Indra(the kings of the gods). When diseases began to trouble the human beings, the great sages of the world assembled in the slopes of the Himalaya mountains and resolved to learn the science of Ayurveda from Indra and bring it to the world for the benefit of living beings. Sage Bharadvaja , one of the participants of the assembly volunteered this difficult task of going to heaven and learning the science from Lord Indra. Baradvaja who learnt the science from Indra came back to the earth and propounded it to the assembly. Krishna Atreya also known as Punarvasu Atreya , son of sage Atri, taught this science to his six disciples namely Agnivesha , Bhela , Jatukarna , Parashara , Haritha and Ksharapani. Each one of them wrote a treatise and placed them before their teacher Krishnatreya and the assembly of sages. The treatise of Agnivesha was adjudged as the best and praised even by gods. It became popular in the world (CHARAKA SAMHITHA- SUTRA STHANA CHAPTER 1).

The teachings of Krishnatreya mainly deals with inner medicine i.e. Kayachikitsa , one among the eight branches of Ayurveda. This school was popularly known as Athreya Sampradaya or Kayachikitsa. The treatise written by Agnivesha is now available not in its original form but in its revised version known as Charaka Samhitha because it was redacted or re-edited by Charaka Muni for the first time. It underwent a second redaction from the pen of Dridabala . Modern scholars assign Krishnatreya and Agnivesha to 6th and 5th cent.B.C. , Charaka Muni to 2nd cent.A.D. and Dridabala to 4th cent.A.D
