Abstract
Nighantu text is one of the important classical textual in the study of Ayurveda and especially in the field of Dravyaguna as it is a glossary of drugs/dravya indicating synonyms and actions. Dravyaguna mainly primarily deals with identification and properties of herbal plants and respective use in different diseases. In ancient period of Samhita there was less morphological description of plants but after introduction of Nighantus it was like a big change in the field of Dravyaguna Vigyana. Ayurveda Nighantu is actually traditional collection of words with actions and properties (rasadi guna) of drugs. The Nighantu is surely a dictionary book containing synonyms according to specific parts having resemblance to any other identified living or non-living object or accordingly to development place etc. In Raj Nighantu it has been indicated Dravya identification should be done by regional people for proper use. So, it is important for a Vaidya to identify drugs accordingly. This article is going to explain specificity of Raj Nighantu with its introductory part.
