=== Sutra Sthana (Section on Fundamental Principles) ===
श्लोकस्थानं समुद्दिष्टं तन्त्रस्यास्य शिरः शुभम्
''Shlokasthanam samuddishtam tantrasyasya shirah shubham [Cha. Chi. 30/45]''
Per the above verse, the ''Sutra Sthana'' (Section on fundamental principles) of [[Charaka Samhita]] deserves the same place as the head deserves in the human body. In ancient times, the ''Sutra Sthana'' was always placed first among ''Samhitas''(ancient reference texts of Ayurveda).Thus, this important section lays the foundation for the whole [[Charaka Samhita]] by means of the basic principles documented in it.
