Chapter 1 Sutra 4-4.5
तेभ्यो ऽति-विप्रकीर्णेभ्यः प्रायः सार-तरोच्चयः ॥ 4 ॥
क्रियते ऽष्टाङ्ग-हृदयं नाति-संक्षेप-विस्तरम् ।
उन आयुर्वेदिक पाठ्य पुस्तकों से, जो बहुत विस्तृत हैं और इसलिए उनका अध्ययन करना बहुत कठिन है, केवल सार को एकत्र करके अष्टांग हृदय में प्रस्तुत किया जाता है, जो न तो बहुत छोटा है और न ही बहुत विस्तृत है।
Maharishi Vagbhat's says that out of those ancient systems scattered here and there, it has been collected by taking the best of the best (essence) part. The name of the collection-book presented is Ashtanga hridyam. In it, the topics mentioned in the ancient systems are neither stated in very brief nor in very detail.
