Abstract
Siddhant Darshan, the collection of basic beliefs and philosophical doctrines that explain the genesis, maintenance, and dissolution of life, is the source of the profound philosophical basis upon which Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, is built. Despite appearing procedural and practical, the discipline of Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery) has its roots in these philosophical ideas. The biological foundation for surgical pathology, wound healing, and tissue regeneration is provided by the dynamic interplay of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), Panchamahabhuta (five great elements), and Agni (bio transformative principle). This essay examines the philosophical, physiological, and practical connections between Tridosha Siddhanta and surgical healing. It illustrates how the age-old Siddhant Darshan concepts still provide a comprehensive and logical framework for comprehending surgical procedures, wound healing, and post-operative recuperation.
