Shilajit references in classical texts

[Guest guest]

Hi Dana and Ole Alstrup,

Here are the references on Shilajit from the classical texts.

 

Charak Samhita - Chikitsa Sthan - Adhyaya 1, Pada 3, Shloka 48-65

 

Sushrut Samhita - Chikitsa Sthan - Adhyaya 13, Shloka 4 - 16

 

Ashtang Hrudaya - Uttar Sthan - Adhyaya 39, Shloka 131-143

 

Sharangdhar Samhita - Dwitiya Khanda, Adhyaya 11/Shloka 26-33

 

Rasa-Ratna Samuchaya - Adhyaya 2/Shloka 109-114

 

Bhaishasjya Ratnavali - Ayurvedavataran Prakaran Adhyaya 1/Shloka 76-

81

Vatavyadhi Chikitsa Prakaran

Adhyaya 26/ Shloka 505

 

Madanpal Nighantu - Suvarnadi Varga - Shloka 42-43

 

Kaiyadev Nighantu - Dhatuvarga - Shloka 63-65

 

Dhanvantari Nighantu - Chandanadi Varga Shloka 146-147

Mishrakadi Varga - Updhatu -

Shloka 83

 

Also Saarth Yoga Ratnakar contains reference to preparation,

purification and use in diseases.

 

All above references are regarding properties, purification

procedures and preparation procedures of shilajit.

There are many other references to use of shilajit in various

diseases either singularly or as part of a combination.

 

Sorry for the delay in reply as I was busy with some family matters.

 

Vd. S. M. Shirodkar.
