INTRODUCTION

“AdSdg°ddy ®dyQZ AdSdg®dy‰QZ”Ayurveda is the science of life. Ayu is the outcome of the

That science which impart the knowledge of Hitayu, Ahitayu, Sukhayu, Dukhayu and the Mana of the Ayu is known as Ayurveda.

Ayurveda originated from Brahma. The knowledge of Ayurveda reached to earth through Bharadwaja Rushi. Medical knowledge began with the scattered references in the Vedas. Then there was compiled Ayurvedic samhitas as a comprehensive treatise on the science of life. Ayurveda is an Upanga of Atharvaveda.

Ayurveda is based on certain fundamental theories which are in existence since time immemorial. The basic doctrines of Ayurveda like other does not have scope for any kind of modification through improvements.

Ayurveda explains about the theories of Tridosha, Satpadhatu, Triphala, Panchamahabhoota etc.

The Astanga of Ayurveda is Kaya, Bala, Graha, Urdwanga, Shalya, Damstra, Jara and Vrusha.

The main aim of Ayurveda is,

Dravya guna is the shastra which explains about the Guna, Karma, Prayoga etc. of the dravyas which are used as Ahara and Oushadha.

Guna word in the dravya guna means rasa, guna, veerya, vipaka, prabhava and karma of a drug.

Dravya is the upakarana of the physician who is treating a patient. So a physician should be thorough with the guna, karma and prayoga of dravya. If the physician doesn’t know about the dravya, he may kill the patient.

For a swastha person, to maintain his health, the knowledge of Ahara dravya is essential.

Shareera and dravyas are Panchamahabhootatmaka. So any diseases produced in shareera due to vrudhi or kshaya of bhootaghatakas can be treated with the Samanya and Vishesha gunayukta dravyas.

In modern dravya guna can be compared with pharmacology. The major divisions are – 1. Nama-Rupa-Vijnana [Pharmacognosy]

It deals with various names and synonyms and morphological character of drugs.

2. Guna-Karma-Vijnana [Pharmacodynamics] It discusses the properties (Guna) and action (Karma) of drugs. The action of drugs is interpreted on the basis of their properties.

3. Prayoga-Vijnana [Therapeutics] It explains about the uses of drugs in various the dosage and Anupana according to the properties and uses.

4. Bheshaja – Kalpana [Pharmacy] Storage and collection of drugs, various processings by which the drug becomes fit for use of the patients.

The drug Goksura - Tribulus terrestris Linn. comes under zygophyllaceae family.

The drug is commonly found in warm areas and upper gangetic plains. It is one of the best drug used in mootravirechana, mootrakruchra and

other disorders also. It is one of the ingredients used in the preparation of dashamoolarista.

CONTROVERSY

Goksura literally means the hoof of the cow. Trikantaka literally means the fruit with three spines. The drug which the vaidyas use at present as Goksura is not like the hoof of a cow or its fruit with the spines. The Goksura which we all are using in medicines is of 2 kinds.

1. A spreading plant – Tribulus terrestris (Zygophyllaceae) a small Goksura.

2. An erect plant is pedalium murex (pedalineae) a big fruited variety.

The big fruited variety should be used in medicine as Shivadasa Sen the commentator of Chakradutta.

Charaka and Sushruta have not mentioned of these two varieties, Sharangadharas has used the whole plant with root, leaves and flowers. The root of pedalium murex is bright orange red colour and the plant contains abundance of mucilage. So much that if we dip the plant in waters for 5 minute it becomes very weight with mucilage

Gureu raised his doubt and published on article He pointed out martynia annu (Martyniaceae) the vinchudo or vaganakha in Gujarati seems to be the real Goksura and trikantaka both, Vagbhata has used the nrutyakundala beejani in ashmari chikitsa. This nrutyakundala according to him is also plant as the fruit are just like ear rings. He used the plant as a good diuretic.
