It is the pattern of this classic that in the beginning of every chapter, Charaka proposes the topic which is to be discussed and secondly the common sentence for all the chapter (इति ह स्माह भगवानात्रेयः) is used which shows the authenticity of the text. There are number of discourses in medical science and it is not possible for all to discuss them completely and meticulously that’s why Agnivesha declares very honestly in the beginning of all the chapters that whatever has been discussed is as per the preaching of his teacher Lord Punarvasu Atreya. The title ''Bhagavana'' (lord) itself reveals that Punarvasu Atreya was an extraordinary personality who could completely discuss the medical science without any mistake and lacunae. [1]
