Notes/Description : Astangasangraha, one of the ancient works on Medicine, in six chapters, by Vagbhata, son of Sanghagupta and grandson of Vagbhata. This work is written in mixed prose and verse, is alluded to as Vrddha Vagbhata in later works, is older both in form and matter than Astangahrdaya, which is wholly written in verse and is also ascribed to Vagbhata. Astangasangraha of the older Vagbhata is probably the work which Itsing mentions in his chronicle without referring to its author’s name and therefore, must have been written before the beginning of the 7th century.The younger Vagbhata probably lived in the 8th century. See Hoernle, Osteology, pp. 10-13;Jolly, Medicine, p. 8; Winternitz, Geschichte,p. 549.Astangasangraha has 150 adhyayas, out of which the last 50 form the Uttarasthana, while the Astangahrdaya contains only 120 adhyayas,the uttarasthana containing only 40 adhyayas.According to the information given at the end of the Sangraha, Vagbhata was named after his grandfather, had studied under his own father Sanghagupta and also under a teacher called Avalokita, and was born in the country around the Indus. in 1888, at Bombay. Astangasangraha was edited by Genes’a Tarte
