Thus, being virtually the only source of our knowledge of ancient Indian surgery, the Suśruta Samhita is a most precious document. Its date is uncertain. Like most ancient Indian documents of a didactic or technical type, it appears to be a compilation, a lengthy collection of passages in verse and prose brought together by an editor, who no doubt added much of his own to the store of ancient wisdom which he had collected. Its relation to other medical texts is a matter of dispute. In some respects it seems to be later than the Caraka Samhita,in others earlier.
