ABSTRACT: Medicinal plants mentioned in the ayurvedic classic Basavarajeeyam are
enumerated.

INTRODUCTION

Basavaraju of 16
th
century had a remarkable
distinction in the field of Ayurveda
Basavarajeeyam is his famous medical
writing, which contains 25 chapters. It was
explained both in Sanskrit slakes and in
Telugu verses. It contains the essence of 48
ancient medical references, out of which
only a few are available now.

Basavarajeeyam is great medical book for
diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.
He was the first to find out the panaceas
using snake venom, mercury etc.
Basavaraju was the pioneer of introducing
Poornachandrodayam . Basavarajeeyam is
a popular medical classic among Indian
medical references. The book has got wide
popularity in Karnataka and Maharashtra.

Basavarajeeyam is quoted in
Mukhopadhyayas History of Indian
Medicine (1974) and in vemuri sankara
sastrys History of Ayurvedic Medicine
(1987). Basavarajeeyam was written in
Telugu script in detail by puvvada
suryanarayana Rao (1989). Goverdhana
sarma (1930) wrote the preface of it in
Sanskrit and explained the concept in Nagari
script.

DISCUSSION :

Each chapter has it own special significance.
As many as thirty diseases are selectively
complied in the book and explanation of the
origin and symptoms of diseases and their
curative medicines is given. About 880
medical preparations were prescribed for
various ailments b using plant, animal and
mineral substances. He discovered several
life saving drugs like brahamaastarasam,
suchikamukharasam, suchikaabharanam etc.

Basavaraju was the only person who
stressed the importance of the examination
of the pulse and urine for the diagnosis of
various diseases. These types of diagnostic
methods are not found in an ayurvedic
classic and are unique to this treatise.

He described 100 diseases with remedies in
telugu poems. New names for childrens
diseases are also given. But there are no
proper medical terms for tem either in
Sanskrit or in English.

Most of the medical herbs mentioned in his
book are available in Andhra Pradesh. But
unfortunately the book is written in telugu
script even through the concept is explained
in Sanskrit and telugu. That is why it did
not become a lexicon of medical terms.

pages 31 - 50
Present study has been undertaken to fill this
lacuna and prepare a list of medicinal plants
used in ayurvedic classic Basavarajeeyam
Botanical names of the medicinal plants are
alphabetically arranged. sough Indian
vernacular names are also given in addition
to Sanskrit and Hindi for easy identification.

Sing & chunekar (1972) also listed out drug
plants mentioned in caraka samhita, susruta
samhita and Astangahrdauayam.

Medicinal plants are identified after Abdul
kareem (1997), anonymous (196), Hussain
(1992) and Nadkarni (1974).
