# Aṣṭāṅga Saṃgraha (Vāgbhaṭa)

The Aṣṭāṅga Saṃgraha, attributed to the same Vāgbhaṭa lineage as the Hṛdaya, presents the eight-limbed medicine in a fuller prose-heavy form. Where the Hṛdaya compresses, the Saṃgraha explains, and commentarial tradition reads the two together. The bundle lists it as the expansion layer behind the Hṛdaya citations on regimen, doṣa physiology, and the therapeutics of the mind.
