LITERARY STUDY OF ‘KALA’ MENTIONED IN BRIHATRAYI WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SWASTHA Authors: Deshpande K* And Gupta P
ABSTRACT
Background: - To study and put into practice the notion of 'Kala' given in Bruhattrayi, i.e.
maintaining proper times in many parts of life according to Ayurveda in order to maintain
health.
Methodology: - The current study was planned and carried out through the scientific
development of the notion of Kala - Amurta Karan Dravya, which is a basic ingredient
of matter responsible for the creation, existence, and annihilation of the entire cosmos.
Ayurveda describes Kala in a variety of ways, including Dinacharya, RItucharya,
Aushadha Sevana Kala, Kriya kala, Arista Kala, and others. The conceptual study of
Kala in all aspects of Ayurveda is critical for the prevention and cure of disease, as well
as the maintenance of a healthy state, which are the science's ultimate goals.
The following 'Kala' references were compiled from each Adhyaya / Sthana of
Brihatrayi and grouped in distinct regions of Swasthavritta:
1. Nityaga Kala
2. Avasthika kala
3. Dinacharya
4. Rutucharya
5. Aahara and Agni
6. Garbha-Garbhini Vidnyana
7. Marma Vidnyana
8. Miscellaneous References
Result: Many references suggesting the word or meaning Kala were obtained from numerous
categories such as Dinacharya, Marma Vidnyana, or Aahara
Conclusion: Maintaining Kala, or proper timing in all aspects of life, aids in achieving and
maintaining health.
