== Preamble of Sutra Sthana (Section on Fundamental Principles) ==
 +
                                             
 +
<div style="text-align:justify;">Sutra Sthana is the first section dealing with fundamental principles of [[Ayurveda]].The [[Sutra Sthana]] (Section on fundamental principles) deserves the same place as the head deserves in the human body.[Cha. Chi. 30/45] This important section lays the foundation for the whole Samhita by describing the basic principles. The word ''Sutra'' literally means a short sentence which has deep meaning. The name of section suggests that it is a chain of important principles in concise form.  Besides the fundamental principles, this section also establishes various technical terms that are used in subsequent sections of the samhita. This helps in providing a base to not just [[Ayurveda]] practitioners, but also to teachers, researchers, and scholars.

From the standpoint of its structure, the Sutra Sthana consists of thirty chapters, grouped into eight logical contexts. The first seven ''Chatushkas'' (or tetrads, i.e., groups of four), while the last one is a a group of two chapters (sangrahadvaya).
