This book aims at explaining ancient 'GARBHAVIJNAANA' might have been written much earlier than the rule of Parikshita i.e. 1416 B.C. (D.N.Bannerjee, Text book of pathology: The medical Bureau; Calcutta-1941). The description pattern of the shlokas of GARBHOPANISHAD is somewhat different in comparison to other texts. There is no end of one science. Inquisitive human tries to search the truth with enthusiasm. The brief description of this book contains valuable Research problems as well as treatment methods for practitioners. Modern Gynecology & Obstetrics develops a lot due to continuous research work done all over the world. Sometimes it makes difficult to understand the Ayurvedic descriptions, as the views are too critical to screen and compare through modern parameters. This book is an effort to create research problems, so that one can able to find out the exact knowledge of prasuti-tantra from different sorts of descriptions.
