Madhava-Nidana is generally considered to be a compilation work, however, it includes many original contributions of Madhavakar. He has identified and described several new disease entities e.g. amavata, parinamasula, amplapitta etc, even though some of them were implicit in texts describing treatment, which goes to show that not only his textual knowledge was sound but he was a keen observer and a practical physician also. This is a book of high order and is complete in itself from the diagnosis point of view.
The present edition is not only a correct English and Hindi translation of the original Sanskrit text, but also gives an insight into the entire spectrum of Ayurveda through the light of the recent scientific developments, giving modern medical equivalents, footnotes, headings etc. to make it up-to-date. This edition is an attempt to make a bridge between the Ayurvedic & modern medical diagnosis, so that the students, teachers and research workers of both the systems can be benefited.
