ABSTRACT

Charaka has described evalution of Sara under ten-fold examinations regarding the patient to asses the Bala [biological strength] of the patient. In Ayurveda the term Sara has been described to denote the essence of Dhatu with an excellent quality. According to Chakrapani it is the purest form of Dhatu. Various scientist defined Sara in different ways to prove it as the central governing force responsible for biological strength of the body tissue. The term Sara has a comprehensive meaning and purpose in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda various features have been described in context of 6 Garbhakar Bhava. Mamsa Dhatu is a Matrija (maternal) feature according to this concept. So the realtion between Mamsa Dhatu, Mamsa Sara Purusha and its relation with gene will be explored in this study by literary means. Mamsa Sara individuals can be defined as persons having the pre dominance of essence of Mamsa Dhatu in respect to both good quality and quantity. These people are identified through the characteristic features present in them. These features are elucidated in different Ayurvedic compendia. The characteristics are depicted in Charaka, Shushruta and Vagbhatta Samhitas. So an effort will be made to understand this concept in the light of Modern science.
