Abstract

In ancient Ayurvedic samhitas, the anatomical description of various body organ is very less except for their names and numbers. To fill this gap, contempory science like jyotish could be explored to see the description of various body parts although described in context with auspicious and inauspicious  outcomes. In Kashyap Samhita also the body characters have been described in context with auspicious and inauspicious  results. Acharya Vagbhata, had given the measurement of various body parts but not their anatomical description. Literary research of Ayurvedic and Jyotish science is carried out in present study to reach to the conclusion. Though its difficult to draw a clear margin of demarcation as which science has borrowed the description of body parts on the basis of auspicious and inauspicious outcomes due to the difference of time period between samhitas of both sciences.The prediction of longevity and economic status on the basis of body characters is the unique specialty of Jyotish science. The findings of the study suggest that ideal body part description should be added while describing that particular part from samhitas. It is observed in general that persons having any body part which is well developed, muscular, having natural size, shape and colour, having normal measurement without any distortions are generally endowed with longevity, good fortune and wealth whereas persons having parts which are under developed, emaciated with prominence of veins, abnormal size, shape and colour are short lived, have misfortune and economically poor.
