Abstract

Ashtang Hridayam is the samhita (Text) which is widely accepted by scholars of Ayurveda. Maximum commentaries are
written on Ashtanga Hridayam. Most of the commentaries written on Ashtanga Hridayam are either lost or not accessible
in complete form. According to the history of Ayurveda, Sarvanga Sundara is the only complete commentary available on
Ashtanga Hridayam. Apart from Sarvanga Sundara, there is one more commentary on Ashtanga Hridayam which is also
complete. The name of this commentary is Sanketmanjari, written by Damodara. This commentary has remained
unnoticed in the history of Ayurveda. The first reference of this commentary is available in the text of 19th century. The
present article is about the contributions available in the main text of Ashtanga Hridayam as well as in the Sanketmanjari
commentary in Roganidana (Diagnostics). There are several verses which are the part of main text of Ashtanga Hridayam
with Sanketmanjari commentary and are not available in the main text of widely used Ashtanga Hridayam with Sarvanga
Sundara and Ayurveda Rasayana commentary. Such verses are either taken from the contemporary samhitas or the
available commentaries
