Vagbhata Vāgbhata (वाग्भट) is one of the most influential classical writers of ayurveda. Several works are associated with his name as author, principally the Ashtāṅgasaṅgraha (अष्टाङ्गसंग्रह) and the Ashtāngahridayasaṃhitā (अष्टाङ्गहृदयसंहिता). The best current research, however, argues in detail that these two works cannot be the product of a single author. Indeed, the whole question of the relationship of these two works, and their authorship, is very difficult and still far from solution. Both works make frequent reference to the earlier classical works, the Charaka Samhita and the Sushruta Samhita. Vāgbhata is said, in the closing verses of the "Ashtānga sangraha", to have lived in Sind (today in Pakistan), and to have been the son of Simhagupta and pupil of Avalokita. He was a Buddhist, as is shown by his explicit praise for the Buddha by name at the start of the "Ashtāngasangraha", and his praise of the Buddha under the title "Unprecedented Teacher" in the opening verse of the "Ashtānga hridayasamhitā." His work contains syncretic elements.

Anugita Anugita is an ancient Sanskrit text embedded in the Book 14 (Ashvamedhika Parva) of the Hindu epic the "Mahabharata". "Anugita" literally means an "Anu" ("continuation, alongside, subordinate to") of "Gita". The original was likely composed between 400 BCE and 200 CE, but its versions probably modified through about the 15th- or 16th-century. It is regarded by Hindus as an appendix to the "Bhagavad Gita" found in Book 6. Like it, the "Anugita" is one of the treatises on Dharma (ethics, moral precepts). Anugita is, in part, a retelling of some of the ethical premises of the "Bhagavad Gita" through legends and fables, instead of the distilled philosophy found in the "Bhagavad Gita".
