Ayurveda is based largely upon two classics - Charaka-Samhita, representing the school of medicine, and Sushruta-Samhita representing that of surgery. These two texts mark the historic switch in the Indian medical tradition, from faith-based therapeutics to its reason-based variant [1]. The Charaka-Samhita, which acquired its present form in circa 1st century CE, uses two remarkable terms to designate the distinctness of these approaches: daiva-vyapashraya (literally, dependence on the unobservable) and yukti-vyapashraya (dependence on reason) [2].
阿育吠陀医学主要基于两部经典著作——代表医学流派的《阇罗迦集》以及代表外科流派的《妙闻集》。这两部典籍标志着印度医学传统从基于信仰的疗法向基于理性的疗法的历史性转变[1]。大约在公元1世纪形成现有形式的《阇罗迦集》，使用了两个引人注目的术语来表明这些方法的差异：daiva-vyapashraya（字面意思是依赖不可观察的事物）和yukti-vyapashraya（依赖理性）[2]。
