Efforts of Madhava in compiling the contents of rugviniscaya
The best descriptions regarding rugviniscaya (methods for diagnosis and understanding diseases) in human beings found in different places (texts) have been compiled here with great effort, by Sri Madhava, son of Indukara, for understanding of all diseases. (10)
Whatever good I have done by creating (writing) this treatise ‘Rugviniscaya’ with good intention, may all the living beings keep getting rid of chain of diseases permanently with its (Rugviniscaya treatise) help.
Thus ends RogaViniscaya of Madhavakara.
