Through <em>Nadi</em> we can determine the <em>Prakruti</em>-<em>Vikruti</em>, the status of <em>Doshas</em> in each organ and effects on <em>Dhatus</em>, <em>Manas</em> and <em>Sukshma</em> <em>Sharira</em>. <em>Vata</em>-<em>Pitta</em>-<em>Kapha</em> which forms the base of diagnosis and treatment in <em>Ayurveda</em>; their effect and their current status in the body can be determined only through <em>Nadi</em> <em>Pariksha</em>. Also <em>Bhutpreta</em> <em>Badha</em> mentioned in <em>Ayurveda</em> can also be known through <em>Nadi</em> <em>Pariksha</em>. The information about <em>Nadi</em> is available in the form of <em>Shlokas</em> in our ancient books. The information in the <em>Shlokas</em> is not very clearly written and is mentioned in a very decorative language. Thus, it can be understood only with the proper guidance of a guru. There is evidently no reference about <em>Nadi</em> <em>vijnana</em> in our ancient books like <em>Brihatrayi</em>. <em>Sharangdhara</em> <em>Samhita</em> of 13<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;century was the first such book which establishes the authentication of <em>Nadi</em> <em>Pariksha</em>. Then in 16<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;century ‘<em>Bhavprakasha’</em> also provides proof of some development in the field of <em>Nadi</em> <em>Vijnana</em>. In <em>Yogratnakara</em> of 17<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;century, complete details and information about <em>Nadi</em> <em>Pariksha</em> can be found. The purpose of the present study is, to impoverish the cognition, a little attempt is made to put.</p> ER -
