Abstract
Sărangadhara was an erudite scholar who wrote the famous Sărangadharasamhita. It is the earliest Indian medical treatise to mention nădĭparĭkşa as a method of diagnosing the diseases. This classic treatise is also important for several other reasons, which can be deduced from its inclusion in the minor triad of authoritative works called Laghutrayĭ. The Samhită is designed to serve as a practitioner's handbook as the author himself states at the end of the work. The particulars of the author Sărangadhara are not known, apart from his name mentioned in one of the introductory verses and at the end of the work as the son of Dămodara. The period of Sărangadhara can be fixed probably to the early part of 14th century A.D.
