Ahe available editions of [[Charak Samhita]] contain eight parts only. The other contemporary texts like Sushruta Samhita and Samhitas of Vagbhata have a separate additional section of Uttara-Tantra. The twelfth chapter of [[Siddhi Sthana]] Charak has mentioned about Uttara Tantra of [[Charak Samhita]]. So it is essential to emphasize on this issue and search the possibility of a section that has been perished in due course of time. Many controversies are raised on the existence and recognition of uttara-tantra of [[Charak Samhita]]. On the other hand, some scholars who belong to a later period have mentioned certain references in their work, which are claimed to be from uttara tantra of [[Charak Samhita]]. After a thorough study and scanning of available literature, it is concluded that Charak uttar tantra was existing up to the time of Nishchalakara (13th century AD.). Nishchalakara has quoted a number of references in Ratnaprabha, which are from uttar tantra of [[Charak Samhita]]. Furthermore, there is a need to discuss about existence of uttara tantra of [[Charak Samhita]] by more detailed study and scanning of literature of [[Ayurveda]] and allied literature.<ref>Vishwakarma R, Goswami PK.
