Abstract
Out of the treasure of Ayurvĕdic literature, a few texts have come in to lime light while some are in dark and available in incomplete form. But many names of the texts with unknown or known authors have been quoted by different subsequent authors in their texts or in the explications by their commentators, for which complete texts are not available at present. Among the texts on specific diseases, one notable work is 'Jwaratimirabhăskara' written by Kăyastha Camunda. Nowhere a detailed account of author's identity, time and place has been mentioned, while short references are available in some historical books. However, manuscripts of this text are available in many repositories of our country. In this article, an attempt has been made to establish the identity of the author, period of the text and also to highlight the salient features of this text.
