Few key-points that were discussed in that conference and became the grounds for further search, discussion as well as the very basis for the learning [[Ayurveda (आयुर्वेदः)|Ayurveda]] in later time, have been described by Acharya Charaka. <blockquote>धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणामारोग्यं मूलमुत्तमम्||१५|| रोगास्तस्यापहर्तारः श्रेयसो जीवितस्य च|
प्रादुर्भूतो मनुष्याणामन्तरायो महानयम्||१६||</blockquote>[[Purushartha (पुरुषार्थ:)|Purusharthas]] viz. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are the 4 principle categories of pursuits in human life. The life of a human being was set in the framework of these four Purusharthas by our ancient seers. In order to pursue any and all of these, one has to have good health as a primary criterion. Since Good health is fundamental to achieve Purusharthas, Arogyam (Good Health) is said to be the root or the basic foundation of Purushrthas. Diseases cause ill health and disturb this very basic requirement to perform any activity related to dharma, Artha, Kama or Moksha. Therefore rogas (diseases) appear to be the destroyers of not only health but also of one's welfare, prosperity and life as a whole. Therefore, there was an immense need to find the solution. Realising this need, all of them concentrated on finding the solution. Then in that state of meditation they realized [[Indra (इन्द्रः)|Indra]] as savior. They could understand that only the King of the Gods will be able to tell the correct means of amelioration (of disease). Hence they decided to send a deputation to Indra to ask, learn the solution and teach it to the seers then.
