→Preamble of Sutra Sthana (Section on Fundamental Principles)
''Shlokasthanam samuddishtam tantrasyasya shirah shubham [Cha. Chi. 30/45]''
''Shlokasthanam samuddishtam tantrasyasya shirah shubham [Cha. Chi. 30/45]''
<div style="text-align:justify;">Per the above verse, the [[Sutra Sthana]] (Section on fundamental principles) of [[Charak Samhita]] deserves the same place as the head deserves in the human body. In ancient times, the [[Sutra Sthana]] was always placed first among ''Samhitas''(ancient reference texts of Ayurveda).Thus, this important section lays the foundation for the whole [[Charak Samhita]] by means of the basic principles documented in it.

Besides the fundamental principles, this section also establishes various technical terms that are used in subsequent sections of the [[Charak Samhita]]. This helps in providing a base to not just Ayurveda practitioners, but also teachers, researchers, and scholars.
