The early Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita is a systematised text of human illness and therapy in six sections (Skt. sthana), which incorporates the Eight Branches, known as Ashtanga Hridaya in Sanskrit, and yan lag brgyad pa in Tibetan. The relationship between Vagbhata and rgyud bzhi are dealt with in detail by Emmerick (1977), according to which the Tibetan translation of Astanga Hrdaya Samhita forms a basis of the rgyud bzhi. ITTM has been working on preparing a glossary database of medical terms derived from this text (for details see www.ittm.org). |
