Acharya Priyavratta Sharma

Acharya Priyavratta Sharma (1941–2000) established the academic framework for Dravyaguna — the Ayurvedic science of medicinal substances and their qualities — as a postgraduate discipline. He published more than fifty books and five hundred articles on Ayurveda, including the landmark multi-volume Dravyaguna-Vigyan series. His work दोष-कारणत्व-मीमांसा (Dosh Kaaran Tattva Mimamsa), published by Chaukhambha Bharati Academy, Varanasi, examines the philosophical basis of dosha causation in Ayurvedic theory.
