− | <div style="text-align:justify;">[[Siddhi Sthana]] occupies a unique place within the extensive body of Ayurvedic knowledge that is [[Charaka Samhita]]. It is the cardinal part of the treatise that imparts knowledge regarding successful modes of therapeutic administration. Among the ancient Ayurvedic texts collectively called “Brihattrayi”(three major texts), only the [[Charaka Samhita]] holds [[Siddhi Sthana]] as an integral part of the document. This last section of the [[Charaka Samhita]] has distinct characteristics in comparison to other portions with respect to its contents, arrangement of chapters and addition of much significant information which was not included before. The portion of [[Siddhi Sthana]] was not available in [[Charaka Samhita]] during ninth century AD and was considered as missing. Later it was Dridhabala, the Kashmiri exponent and resident of the ancient city of Panchanadapura (modern day Panjore, in Kashmir) who did an immense literary work of completing the [[Charaka Samhita]] by compiling several important treatises of that time. He added seventeen chapters of [[Chikitsa Sthana]], whole of [[Kalpa Sthana]] and [[Siddhi Sthana]]. Hence he is also known as the expounder of the [[Charaka Samhita]]. | + | <div style="text-align:justify;">[[Siddhi Sthana]] occupies a unique place within the extensive body of Ayurvedic knowledge that is [[Charaka Samhita]].

| In precise terms, ''siddhi'' is defined as successful administration of therapeutic procedures. [[Siddhi Sthana]] deals with various practical aspects of [[Panchakarma]] procedures and is the continuation of [[Kalpa Sthana]] where various therapeutic formulations are explained. The practical skill of a physician supersedes his theoretical/textual knowledge, especially when it comes to Ayurvedic formulations. Success in managing unpredictable clinical situations evolves from the logical understanding and modifications on therapeutic formulations. In medical practice unexpected situations are not rare. [[Siddhi Sthana]] deals with the scientific explanations of [[Panchakarma]] procedures and details the optimal response of each procedure, major pitfalls in diagnostic outcomes along with possible complications and their management strategies. | | In precise terms, ''siddhi'' is defined as successful administration of therapeutic procedures.
