Abstract

Sanskrit language was termed as 'Deva Vani' (Gods' language) as it was believed to have been generated by the god Brahma who passed it to the Rishis (sages) living in celestial abodes, who then communicated the same to their earthly disciple from where it spread on earth. According to the history of ayurveda, it has also been generated to the human world by the god Brahma through his great line of disciples starting from Indra. Having equal systems of origin, both of these have being exist together, so far exposing various aspects of advantages, usages, benefits and values to the field of Ayurveda. Any form of the Ayurveda knowledges is direct or indirect translation from Sanskrit, which has written in concise form called sutra of sloka mostly in poetic form.
