Explanation:
Sushruta, or Suśruta was an ancient Indian physician known as the main author of the treatise The Compendium of Suśruta (Sanskrit: Suśruta-saṃhitā).[1] The Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic text, represents him as a son of Vishvamitra, which coincides with the present recension of Sushruta Samhita.[2] Kunjalal Bhisagratna opined that it is safe to assume that Sushruta was the name of the clan to which Vishvamitra belonged.[3] He is one of a number of individuals described as the "Father of surgery" and "Father of Plastic Surgery".[4][5]
The Sushruta Samhita is one of the most important surviving ancient treatises on medicine and is considered a foundational text of Ayurveda. A 1134 years old palm leaf manuscript of Sushrut Samhita is preserved in Kaiser Library Nepal. It is written in Kutila script also recognized as Gupta script. It is considered as the oldest document in the field of Ayurveda (traditional medicine system using herbs and plants) medicine found and preserved in Nepal. The treatise addresses all aspects of general medicine, but the translator G. D. Singhal dubbed Suśruta "the father of surgery" on account of the detailed accounts of surgery to be found in the work.[6]
