The author of this book after 4 decades of teaching the subject in English medium
at Govt. Ayurvedic Medical College, Bangalore/Mysore, has written this book according to
the needs of the students and for easy understanding the subjects. Most of the writings
are from class notes which are accepted by the students of BSAM/BAMS courses. It is
according to CCIM syllabus. For some reference of the topics, the footnotes have been
restricted but the references are given there itself.

confusions and difference of opinions. In chapter eleven some more Karmas, other than

because of the importance of this nighantu. This work in English will fulfil the dearth of
texts in English language and specially on the basic principles of Dravyaguna-vignana.
