The ‘Charaksamhita’ is a treatise on which of the following subjects?
Medicine
Ancient India produced many classical Sanskrit treatises on sciences such as medicine, astronomy and mathematics.
The Charaka Samhita, attributed to Charaka, is one of the foundational texts of Ayurveda and deals with internal medicine, diagnosis, diet and treatment; it is often linked with the court of Kanishka.
Astronomy and mathematics are covered by works such as the Aryabhatiya, and architecture by texts like the Mayamata, so the Charaka Samhita is not about them.
Hence, Medicine.
