In ancient times, study of saṁhitā was done in guruśiṣya paramparā and students use to read in the presence of Guru. So thus they use to understand the saṁhitā vākya along with their root meaning. But in later times due to change in the study patterns, elaborate commentary on mūlasūtra became necessary to understand the true meanings of original sutras. To fulfill these needs many commentators written commentaries on Carakasaṁhitā. First among them is Scholar Bhaṭṭāra hariścandra and the commentary written is ‘Carakanyāsa’. In due course of time, many of the commentaries are extinct. Only Cakrapāṇidatta’s Āyurvēdadīpikā and Jalpakalpataru commentary of Gangadhar Roy are available in complete form. Out of these two, Āyurvēdadīpikā commentary is the most popular and complete guide to understand the Carakasaṁhitā in Ayurvedic world. Experts of Ayurveda considers that, with out reading the Āyurvēdadīpikā commentary along with the original compendium it is difficult to understand the deep rooted Ayurvedic concepts of Carakasaṁhitā.
