Acharya 'Videha Nimi' had constructed his treatise named `Nimi/Videha Tantra' He was the pioneer of ancient ENT and ophthalmology. Acharya Sushruta, had also given the credit of pioneering this branch to acharya Nimi so much so that in his treatise, he mentioned that whatever he is describing with respect to ENT and ophthalmology is based on the work of acharya Nimi. But this important treatise lost in the course of time. However, the views of Acharya Nimi were quoted by many commentators as brought forward by author duo Dr Subhash Waghe and Dr Pradnya Thakre. Authors have taken immense hard work to search out all these references in various available anc are Sanskrit commentaries. More important was to give it a shape of 'Tantra' according to the construct of old ayurvedic tantras. Its really indeed a new experiment in reconstructing any lost treatise ofAyurveda and I hope this will for future explorations to bring out the complete tantra. Both authors deserve special thanks for that and I congratulate both of them for coming out with such innovative idea to reconstruct the lost ancient ayurvedic literature.
