This book explores the forms and functions of narrative in ?yurveda, India's classical medical system. Looking at narratives concerning fever, miscarriage, and the so-called king's disease, Anthony Cerulli examines how the medical narrative shifts from clinical to narrative discourse and how stories from religious and philosophical texts are adapted to the medical framework. Cerulli discusses the ethics of illness that emerge and offers a genealogy of patienthood in Indian cultural history. Using Sanskrit medical sources, the book excavates the role, and ultimately the centrality, of Hindu religious thought and practice to the development of Indian medicine in the classical era up to the eve of British colonialism. In addition to its cultural and historical contributions to South Asian Studies, the medical narratives discussed in the book contribute fresh perspectives on medicine and ethics in general and, in particular, notions of health and illness. 606 $aMedicine, Ayurvedic$xHistory 606 $aMedical literature$zIndia$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSanskrit literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMedicine, Ayurvedic$xHistory. 615 0$aMedical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSanskrit literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a615.5/38 700 $aCerulli$b Anthony Michael$01251863 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966822603321 996 $aSomatic lessons$94335081 997 $aUNINA
