Abstract
According to Charaka Samhita, the disease is the state in which both the body and mind are subject to pain and misery. There is need of classification of disease which is caused by exogenous and endogenous factors. Generally, the classification gives the idea about the type and difference between diseases. Classification of disease is very essential for the treatment of the diseased individual. Unskilled physicians, who are unable to identify nature of disease, examine patient by applying sensory organ which provides only superficial knowledge of disease. To know the whole nature of disease, one should know the classification of disease which is based on origin of disease causative factor, surgical cure or nonsurgical cure, infected organ etc.
