Bhăvamiśra, the author of Bhăvaprakăśa was a great scholar in Samsŗt and ancient medical science. He set a great example to modernize ayurvĕda by incorporating new drugs, diseases, procedures of treatment etc. and making ayurvĕda up to date. He was the son of Latakanamiśra. Bhăvamiśra was an orthodox Brahmin. He belonged to Măgada (South Bihar in North India). Date can be determined from the following points. The latest text from which Bhăvamiśra was quoted is Madanapăla Nighaņţu. This was completed in 1347 A.D. and this will be the upper limit for the date of Bhăvamiśra. Yogaratnakara and Vaidyajivana (by Lolimbaraja) both texts belonging to 17th century A.D. quoted verses from Bhăvaprakăśa. His works are Bhăvaprakăśa (most famous), Guņaratnamăla, a commentary on Mădhava Nidăna and Vaidyanighaņţu.
《八支心要集》的作者跋婆米希罗是梵语和古代医学领域的伟大智者。他通过纳入新药、疾病、治疗方法等，为阿育吠陀的现代化树立了光辉典范，使阿育吠陀与时俱进。他是拉塔卡纳米希罗之子。跋婆米希罗是正统婆罗门，来自摩揭陀（印度北部的南比哈尔）。其年代可根据以下几点确定。跋婆米希罗被引用的最晚文献是《摩怛拿波罗词汇》，该书于公元1347年完成，这将是跋婆米希罗年代的上限。公元17世纪的《瑜伽宝藏》和洛利姆巴拉贾的《吠陀吉vana》都引用了《八支心要集》中的诗句。他的著作有《八支心要集》（最著名）、《药物精华》、对《玛德哈瓦病因论》的注释以及《医方词汇》。
