Which one of the following texts is a commentary written by Chakrapanidatta (11 Century CE from Bengal) on the Sushrut Samhita ?

Explanation

Chakrapanidatta (11th Century CE), a celebrated physician and scholar from Bengal during the Pala period, is renowned for his extensive contributions to Ayurvedic literature. The correct answer is Bhanumati, which is his authoritative commentary on the Sushruta Samhita.

  • Bhanumati: It is the primary commentary written by Chakrapanidatta on the Sushruta Samhita, specifically focusing on the Sutra-sthana section.
  • Other Major Works: He is also famous for the Ayurveda Dipika (a commentary on the Charaka Samhita) and the Chikitsa Sangraha (also known as Chakradatta), which is a treatise on therapeutics.
  • Sabdachandrika: While also authored by Chakrapanidatta, it is a dictionary of medical terms rather than a commentary on the Sushruta Samhita.

His scholarly works played a crucial role in systematizing and interpreting ancient Indian medical knowledge during the early medieval period.
