Method of referencing:
The classical referencing indicates first the classical text, followed by the section in the text, then the
chapter number and the verse number. Various versions of the same classical texts were published by
various companies, however regardless of the edition, or publisher, the section, chapter and verse
number are consistent as to the original text. Therefore this method of classical referencing is
considered standard and widely used for Āyurvedic texts.
Ex. C.S. Su. 1/56 = Caraka Saṃhitā, Sūtra Sthāna, Chapter 1, verse 56.
