Abstract

Kashyap Samhita, the only available source book on Kaumarbhritya, is presented in the form of compilations of teachings of Acharya Kashyap by his disciple Vriddha Jivaka. With the lapse of time, the book was lost in oblivion and then resurrected by Vatsya, who procured it from Anayasa. This article reviews the history of this ancient text and various aspects related to its stages of development. The article also summarizes the contribution of Kashyap Samhita in field of kaumarbhritya, one of the eight branches of ayurveda, which deals with care and diseases of children.
