• B. Kashyap Samhita

• D. Madhava Nidana

Hint:

The Kashyap Samhita is one of the classical texts of Ayurveda that provides detailed discussions on various health conditions, including Krimi Ashaya, which involves parasitic infestations and their treatment.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Krimi Ashaya refers to the chapter or description related to parasitic infestations (krimi) in the body, which is described in the Kashyap Samhita.
- Harita Samhita is an important text in Ayurveda but does not specifically focus on Krimi Ashaya.
- Kashyap Samhita is the correct text where Krimi Ashaya is discussed, as it includes detailed information about various types of parasites (krimi) and their treatment.
- Ashtanga Hridaya and Madhava Nidana are also key texts in Ayurveda but do not cover Krimi Ashaya in detail. Thus, the correct answer is (2) Kashyap Samhita.
