The first chapter of Shareerasthana of Sushruta Samhita is called as Sarvabhuta Cinta Sarira Adhyaya. This chapter offers with the inquiry of all of the substances of the universe.
अथातः सर्वभूतचिन्ताशारीरं व्याख्यास्यामः ||१||
यथोवाच भगवान् धन्वन्तरिः ||२||
We are going to now expound the chapter by title Sarvabhuta Cinta Sarira enquiry of all of the substances of the universe; as revealed by the venerable Dhanvantari.
Avyakta- the unmanifest
सर्वभूतानां कारणमकारणं सत्त्वरजस्तमोलक्षणमष्टरूपमखिलस्य जगतः सम्भवहेतुरव्यक्तं नाम |
तदेकं बहूनां क्षेत्रज्ञानामधिष्ठानं समुद्र इवौदकानां भावानाम् ||३||
Avyakta means ‘that which has not manifest’ i.e. ‘the un-manifested one’.
Solely that precept or entity which satisfies the under talked about circumstances may be designated as Avyakta –
– Karanam – it needs to be the trigger or origin of all of the bhutas i.e. each dwelling and non-living substances on this creation
– Akaranam – it mustn’t have a trigger for its personal origin i.e. it mustn’t have been created from anything

– Akhilasyajagatahsambhavahetuh – it needs to be the reason for origin of all the universe
Avyakta is one solely i.e. a single entity. It’s the kshetra – dwelling place of innumerable kshetrajnas – souls simply because the ocean is a dwelling place for all of the dwelling and non-living substances current in it.
Manifestation of Mahat and Ahankara
तस्मादव्यक्तान्महानुत्पद्यते तल्लिङ्ग एव |
तल्लिङ्गाच्च महतस्तल्लक्षण एवाहङ्कार उत्पद्यते; स त्रिविधो वैकारिकस्तैजसो भूतादिरिति |
From this Avyakta, Mahat tattva manifests. Mahat can have the identical options as that of Avyakta i.e. it can have sattva, rajas and tamas as its options (qualities). From such a Mahat tattva, Ahankara takes its origin. Ahankara can even have in it the sattva, raja and tama qualities. The Ahankara will likely be of three varieties i.e. Vaikarika, Taijasa and Bhutadi.
Origin of twenty-four tattvas (twenty-four primordial ideas)
तत्र वैकारिकादहङ्कारात्तैजससहायात्तल्लक्षणान्येवैकादशेन्द्रियाण्युत्पद्यन्ते, तद्यथा- श्रोत्रत्वक्चक्षुर्जिह्वाघ्राणवाग्घस्तोपस्थपायुपादमनांसीति; तत्र पूर्वाणि पञ्च बुद्धीन्द्रियाणि, इतराणि पञ्च कर्मेन्द्रियाणि, उभयात्मकं मनः; भूतादेरपि तैजससहायात्तल्लक्षणान्येव पञ्चतन्मात्राण्युत्पद्यन्ते- शब्दतन्मात्रं, स्पर्शतन्मात्रं, रूपतन्मात्रं, रसतन्मात्रं, गन्धतन्मात्रमिति; तेषां विशेषाः- शब्दस्पर्शरूपरसगन्धाः; तेभ्यो भूतानि- व्योमानिलानलजलोर्व्यः; एवमेषा तत्त्वचतुर्विंशतिर्व्याख्याता ||४||
The Ekadasa (eleven) Indriyas are produced (born out of) Vaikarika Ahankara, deriving the assistance from Taijasa Ahankara (Taijasa Ahankara helps Vaikarika Ahankara to provide the eleven indriyas).

From the identical Bhutadi Ahankara, the Pancha Tanmatras i.e. 5 primordial components are produced. Bhutadi Ahankara produces the tanmatras with the assistance of Taijasa Ahankara. The Panca Tanmatras are as under talked about –
– Sabda Tanmatra,

Prakrti and Vikara – evolving ideas and evolutes
अव्यक्तं महानहङ्कारः पञ्चतन्मात्राणि चेत्यष्टौ प्रकृतयः; शेषाः षोडश विकाराः ||६||
Prakriti means nature. It additionally means producers or evolving matter, which provides origin to all creation. The under talked about eight entities are generally known as Prakriti –
– 1. Avyakta
– 2. Mahan
– 3. Ahamkara and
– 4-8 – PancaTanmatra – the 5 delicate components – Sabda, Sparsa, Rupa, Rasa and Gandha (complete 5)

सत्यप्यचैतन्ये प्रधानस्य पुरुषकैवल्यार्थं प्रवृत्तिमुपदिशन्ति, क्षीरादींश्चात्र हेतूनुदाहरन्ति ||८||
The 24 tattvas (ideas) i.e. eight kinds of Prakriti and sixteen kinds of Vikriti have been described to this point. All these are Acetana Varga i.e. teams of non-conscious or inactive entities.
The twenty fifth tattva or precept is named Purusa – the soul or life ingredient. Purusa is named Cetayita – the creator or activator of consciousness as a result of he’s related to each karya – impact and karana – trigger.
Avyakta or Pradhana as it’s referred to as, is definitely Acetana – non-conscious (inactivated). Despite being acetana, avyakta nonetheless undergoes transformation in order to assist Purusa to achieve Kaivalya – distant or withdrawn (aloof). The profounder of those doctrines give examples of milk and so forth to clarify the logics of those ideas.
Notes – Similar to the milk regardless of being acetana i.e. non-conscious will come out within the type of / manifest within the type of cetana i.e. consciousness for the kid (bestows diet, help and life to the kid which consumes this milk), the prakrti regardless of being non-conscious turns into acutely aware when the (through the) moksa (liberation, salvation) of purusa is worried.
Prakrti- purusatulana- comparability of prakrti and purusa
अत ऊर्ध्वं प्रकृतिपुरुषयोः साधर्म्यवैधर्म्ये व्याख्यास्यामः |
तद्यथा- उभावप्यनादी, उभावप्यनन्तौ, उभावप्यलिङ्गौ, उभावपि नित्यौ, उभावप्यनपरौ, उभौ च सर्वगताविति; एका तु प्रकृतिरचेतना त्रिगुणा बीजधर्मिणी प्रसवधर्मिण्यमध्यस्थधर्मिणी चेति, बहवस्तु पुरुषाश्चेतनावन्तोऽगुणा अबीजधर्माणोऽप्रसवधर्माणो मध्यस्थधर्माणश्चेति ||९||
The similarities and dissimilarities between Prakriti and Purusa will likely be described after this.

– each are Alinga – not having particular options / qualities,

Affiliation of Visesa and Purusa with Trigunas
तत्र कारणानुरूपं कार्यमिति कृत्वा सर्व एवैते विशेषाः सत्त्वरजस्तमोमया भवन्ति; तदञ्जनत्वात्तन्मयत्वाच्च तद्गुणा एव पुरुषा भवन्तीत्येके भाषन्ते ||१०||
Karya – the impact is alleged to be just like its Karana i.e. causes. Primarily based on this assertion, all of the Visesas i.e. merchandise resembling Mahat, Ahankara, Indriyas, Tanmatras and Pancabhutas turn into engrossed with the Trigunas i.e. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
In keeping with some authorities, the Purusa – soul additionally turns into possessor of the Trigunas i.e. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas due to the under talked about causes –
– Anjanatva – attributable to its intimate attachment with the trigunas, similar to the intimacy of collyrium with the eyes and
– Tanmayatva – purusa changing into totally engrossed with prakriti
(Purusa or soul is alleged to be nirguni i.e. devoid of satva, rajas and tamas. When Purusa combines with Prakrti i.e. evolving matter he derives these qualities from prakrti and turns into guni. Now he can have satva, rajas and tamas qualities. He will likely be guni till he’s united with Prakrti. As soon as once more he turns into nirguni after getting separated from Prakrti. This separation is named as Moksa – salvation or liberation).
Ayurveda Mata – Ayurvedic view
वैद्यके तु-
स्वभावमीश्वरं कालं यदृच्छां नियतिं तथा |
परिणामं च मन्यन्ते प्रकृतिं पृथुदर्शिनः ||११||

Relationship of Bhutas and all types of drugs
तन्मयान्येव भूतानि तद्गुणान्येव चादिशेत् |
तैश्च तल्लक्षणः कृत्स्नो भूतग्रामो व्यजन्यत ||१२||
तस्योपयोगोऽभिहितश्चिकित्सां प्रति सर्वदा |
भूतेभ्यो हि परं यस्मान्नास्ति चिन्ता चिकित्सिते ||१३||
यतोऽभिहितं- “तत्सम्भवद्रव्यसमूहो भूतादिरुक्तः” (सू.१);
भौतिकानि चेन्द्रियाण्यायुर्वेदे वर्ण्यन्ते, तथेन्द्रियार्थाः ||१४||
All of the dwelling and non-living issues on this world are composed of Panca Butas i.e. 5 main components and possess the identical trigunas i.e. sattva, rajas and tamas. Totally different sorts of dwelling and non-living issues of this universe are born out of those Pancha Bhutas solely. The identical substances that are composed of Pancabhutas are meant for use as medicines within the remedy of various ailments. Due to this fact, one ought to by no means take into consideration every other substances apart from the Panca Bhutas. Due to this fact, earlier in Sutra Sthana Chapter 1, verse 38, it was already said that Bhutadi i.e. all dwelling and non-living substances are a gaggle of Pancabhutas themselves i.e. they’re all composed of Pancabhutas.
Indriya- Indriyartha- sense organs and their objects: –
भवति चात्र-
इन्द्रियेणेन्द्रियार्थं तु स्वं स्वं गृह्णाति मानवः |
नियतं तुल्ययोनित्वान्नान्येनान्यमिति स्थितिः ||१५||
In Ayurveda,the under talked about are thought of as Bhautika – as a result of they’re composed of Pancabhutas –
– Indriyas – sense organs
– Indriyarthas – objects of sense organs
Man perceives and understands the indriyarthas by the respective indriyas, as a rule, due to each having an an identical origin. One sense organ perceives just one sense object associated to it. One sense organ is not going to understand the item of another sense organ. Such notion of various objects of an unrelated sense school just isn’t a standard rule.
Ksetrajna (purusa) Soul
न चायुर्वेदशास्त्रेषूपदिश्यन्ते सर्वगताः क्षेत्रज्ञा नित्याश्च; असर्वगतेषु च क्षेत्रज्ञेषु नित्यपुरुषख्यापकान् हेतूनुदाहरन्ति; आयुर्वेदशास्त्रेष्वसर्वगताः क्षेत्रज्ञा नित्याश्च, तिर्यग्योनिमानुषदेवेषु सञ्चरन्ति धर्माधर्मनिमित्तं; त एतेऽनुमानग्राह्याः परमसूक्ष्माश्चेतनावन्तः शाश्वता लोहितरेतसोः सन्निपातेष्वभिव्यज्यन्ते, यतोऽभिहितं- ‘पञ्चमहाभूतशरीरिसमवायः पुरुषः’(सू.१) इति; स एष कर्मपुरुषश्चिकित्साधिकृतः ||१६||
In keeping with Ayurveda we don’t get an outline which tells that Ksetrajna or Purusa i.e. soul is Sarvagata – current all over the place and Anitya – non-eternal. Despite Ksetrajna being asarvagata i.e. not being current all over the place, it nonetheless is Nitya i.e. everlasting (it doesn’t perish). This side has been defined by many causes.
Ksetrajna is asarvagata and nitya based on Ayurveda.
Motion and manifestation of Ksetrajna – Ksetrajna strikes in three sorts of yoni (species). They’re –
- Tiryak Yoni – in animals
- Manusa Yoni – in human beings and
- Daiva Yoni – in Gods, divine
Motion of Ksetrajna in these Yonis is determined by and is as a result of results of his righteous or unrighteous actions. These actions of Ksetrajna can’t be identified immediately they usually can solely be understood by inference.
Ksetrajna manifests on the time of lohita – ovum and retas – sperm due to his under talked about nature –
– Parama sukshmatva – being of utmost minuteness,
– Chetanavanta – attributable to his acutely aware exercise and
– Sashvara – due to him being everlasting
The identical incontrovertible fact that the Purusa is the intimate union of Panca mahabhutas and Ksetrajna has been talked about earlier additionally (in Sushruta Sutra Sthana Chapter 1, verse 22).
He alone who’s made up of this union is named Karma purusa. Karma purusa is the topic of all medical remedies.
