# Śārṅgadhara Saṃhitā

The Śārṅgadhara Saṃhitā (around the 13th-14th century CE) is the compact manual through which much of later practice learned its pharmacy and its quick physiology. For this bundle it matters for the systematized doṣa periodization, the phases of the day, the night, digestion, and life dominated in turn by kapha, pitta, and vāta, that underwrites dinacaryā and ṛtucaryā as alignment disciplines.
