Foreword The language paradox in understanding Charakasamhita, Sushrutasamhita, Ayurveda or AYUSH is much challenging and limited within few groups of people. Tantras (Samhitas) offers treasures for contemporary and future health, healthcare system and wellbeing. Foundational principles of Samhitas hold algorithms for addressing complex planetary health as well as One Health challenges. Unfortunately these aspirations are facing much difficulty for their implementation; even those are based on our common sense. Contemporary renditions of terms & concepts written in Tantras(Samhitas) are far from optimum.
