Agnivesa

Agnivesha (Sanskrit: अग्निवेश, Agniveśa) is a legendary rishi (sage), reputedly one of the earliest authors on Ayurveda (Indian medicine).^[1] He was a pupil of Punarvasu Atreya. The Agnivesh tantra, or Agnivesha Samhita, is based on Atreya's teachings and is a lost text on Ayurveda. It was the foundational text of the Agnivesha school, one of the six schools of early Ayurveda (others being Parashara, Harita, Bhela, Jatukarna and Ksharpani).^{[citation needed]}

The text is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita: "the tantra (Agnivesha) as written by Agnivesha is compiled, edited and modified by Charaka" (agniveśakṛte tantre carakapratisaṃskṛte)^{[2] [3]}

From a text reference of the Mahabharat, Acharya Agnivesh is the Guru of Acharya Dronacharya. ^{[citation needed]}
