Book Description

Preface
I was privileged to read through a substantial portion of Dr. G. D. Singhal and Dr. L. V. Guru's work, 'Anatomical and Obstetric Considerations in Ancient Indian Surgery', before it was published.

So far there has been only one English translation of Suśruta Samhita available in India, that by Kaviraj Kunjalal Bhishagratna. This work had been out of print for nearly half a century. A recent reprint is now available without any change whatsoever in the original version. Not only is the language of this translation archaic and unnatural, but, in many cases, the inter- pretation of technical terms is faulty, confusing, misleading and unfair to Suśruta, e.g., rendering of dosa as fault', vata as 'wind'.
