Samhita core: Brihat Trayi and minor texts
Samhita-derived questions — direct shloka recall, commentary attribution, and applied sthana concepts — anchor a large share of every recent paper. The minor texts add the comparative items that separate toppers.
- Charaka Samhita — all sthanas; Sutrasthana and Chikitsasthana are historically heavy.
- Sushruta Samhita — Sutra, Sharira, Chikitsa, Kalpa and Uttara tantra, including para-surgical concepts.
- Ashtanga Hridaya — parallel chapters to Charaka; high-yield for source-attribution questions.
- Minor Samhitas and allied texts — Sharngadhara, Bhavaprakasha, Madhava Nidana, Kashyapa — plus Ayurveda itihasa and commentary questions.
