Abstract
Sage Vishwamitra was present at a historic conclave of rishis held beneath the Himalayas which was
convened to discuss the outbreak of disease in society and its management through Ayurveda. Among
those present were his sons namely Sankriti, Galava, Yagyavalkya, Vaijyapi, Badrayana and other eminent
sages. Vishwamitra was a royal figure who attained the coveted status of Brahmarishi, a title earned
through immense spiritual discipline. He belonged to the Kaushik lineage, named after his great-
grandfather King Kushik who was the ruler of the ancient Kanyakubja region, near present-day Kannauj in
Uttar Pradesh. His father was King Gadhi, and his sister Satyavati was married to Sage Ruchik, the son of
the illustrious rishi Bhrigu. Several renowned Ayurvedic commentators viz., Dalhana, Chakrapani,
Gayadasa, Nischalkar, and Shreekantdutta have cited Vishwamitra’s views on dravya kalpana (drug
preparation) in their respective commentaries. Medieval Ayurvedic scholars such as Todharmal in
"Ayurveda Sokhyam" and Vangsena in "Vangsena Samhita" also referenced the ancient "Vishwamitra
Samhita", attributed to Sage Vishwamitra. Hence it becomes essential to explore the rishi Vishwamitra in
detail. The literary research study had shown that several commentators have mentioned the quotes of sage
Vishwamitra in their commentaries. Hence, it can be concluded that he ancient ‘Vishwamitra Samhita’
existed till 17th century AD but it is unavailable at present.

Introduction :
Rishi Vishwamitra is one of the most revered sages
of the ancient era. He was present at a historic
conclave of rishis held beneath the Himalayas
which was convened to discuss the outbreak of
disease in society and its management through
Ayurveda. Among those present were his sons
namely Sankriti, Galava, Yagyavalkya, Vaijyapi,
Badrayana and other eminent sages. Vishwamitra
was a royal figure who attained the coveted status
of Brahmarishi, a title earned through immense
spiritual discipline. He belonged to the Kaushik
lineage, named after his great-grandfather King
Kushik who was the ruler of the ancient
Kanyakubja region, near present-day Kannauj in
Uttar Pradesh. His father was King Gadhi, and his
sister Satyavati was married to sage Ruchik, the son
of the illustrious rishi Bhrigu. After inheriting the
throne, Vishwamitra once embarked on a military
expedition. While passing through a forest, he
arrived at the ashram of sage Vashishtha, who
welcomed him with great hospitality. Vishwamitra
was astonished to see the divine cow Kamadhenu
providing abundant food and drink. Attempting to
seize the cow by force, he lost his entire army.
Seeking answers from Lord Shiva, he learned that
Sage Vashistha’s power stemmed from intense
tapasya (penance). Determined to attain equal
spiritual strength, Vishwamitra renounced royal life
and began rigorous tapasya, enduring hunger and
thirst for years. Despite distractions sent by Indra,
including celestial nymphs Rambha and Urvashi,
Vishwamitra remained resolute. Ultimately, his
unwavering dedication earned him the title of
Brahmarishi, conferred by Lord Brahma himself.
Need For Study :
Several renowned Ayurvedic commentators viz.,
Dalhana, Chakrapani, Gayadasa, Nischalkar, and
Shreekantdutta have cited Vishwamitra’s views on
dravya kalpana (drug preparation) in their

scholars such as Todharmal in "Ayurveda

Brief Background Of Vishwamitra :
Vishwamitra was the son of king ‘Gadhi’ of
Kanyakubja (Modern day Kannauj city in
Uttarpradesh state of India). His mother’s name
was ‘Kaushiki’. The river Kaushiki in Uttar
Pradesh got its name after this Kaushiki. His
grandfather’s name was ‘Kushambu’. The famous
city ‘Kaushambi’ of northern India is after the
name of Kushambu. Vishwamitra’s sister Satyavati

‘Gayatri Mantra’. He was taught by Bhargav
Jamadagni (Bhanja). He was the Purohit of king
Sudas, until he was replaced by Vasishta. He aided
the Bharatas in crossing the Vipasha and
Shatudri rivers (modern Beas and Sutlaj).
Vishwamitra and Vasiṣhṭha have a long-standing
rivalry regarding the position of the Bharata
purohita.
Birth of Vishwamitra :
Satyavati was married to an old man called as
Ruchika who was foremost among the race of
Bhrigu. To fulfil the desire for noble progeny,
Ruchik prepared a sacred medicinal preparation
called Charu. It was intended that Satyavati would
bear a son with peaceful Brahmin qualities, while
her mother would bear a son with valorous
Kshatriya. However, Satyavati’s mother secretly
exchanged the Charu, resulting in Satyavati giving
birth to a son with Kshatriya traits, and King Gadhi
receiving a son called Vishwamitra with Brahmin
qualities. Ruchika desired a son having the qualities
of a Brahmin and so he gave Satyavati a sacrificial
offering specially prepared Churu. He also gave
Satyavati's mother another churu to make her
conceive a son with the character of a Kshatriya at
her request. But Satyavati's mother privately asked
Satyavati to exchange her charu with her.[2] [3] This
resulted in Satyavati's mother giving birth to
Vishvamitra, a Kshatriya with qualities of Brahmin,
and, Satyavati gave birth to Jamadagni, (father of
Parashuram) a Bramhin with qualities of a warrior.
Vishwamitra’s Wife & Progeny :
Vishwamitra had many wives. Prominent Among
them are – 1. Renu, 2. Shalavati, 3. Drushatvati, 4.
Madhavi and 5. Menaka. His wife Madhavi was the
daughter of famous king Yayati. From her, he had
the famous son called Ashtak/Lauhi, Kacchapa and
Harita. From his wife Shalavati, he got sons naming
Hiranyaksha, Vaijwapi, Badarayan, Kaushik, Kati,
Yagyvalakya. From Renu he had sons called Deval,
Madhuchhanda, Sankruti, Galava, Bashkal. From
Drushatwati he had sons called Sushruta,
Audambar etc. [4] [5]
Rivalry With Vasishtha Rishi :
Maharshi Vasishtha possessed a divine-cow called
Kamdhenu that was able to give everything that one
wished for. Once king Kaushika (Vishwamitra)
saw the cow and wished to possess her. He asked
Vasistha to hand her over but Vasistha refused to
do so saying she actually belongs to Devas and not
him. King Kaushika became angry due to his
arrogance and attacked Vasistha with all his forces.
However, he was defeated by the Vasistha.
Vasishtha had formed the formidable alliance with
Shakas, Yawanas, Pahalavas and Khas to defeat
the Vishwamitra. Sage Vishwamitra was somehow
rescued by Mahadeva. He asked Vamadeva how
Vasistha could defeat him all alone. Mahadeva
gave many celestial weapons to sage Vishwamitra.
Having got the weaponry, Vishwamitra again
challenged sage Vasishta but lost miserably by the
use of Bramhadanda by Vasishtha. Mahadeva told
him this happened due to Vasistha's position as
"Brahmarishi" due to his tapasya (penance).
Kaushika then wanted to gain "Brahmarishi" like
Vasistha. Doing penance guided by Vamadeva,
King Kaushika eventually became Vishwamitra.[6]
[7] [8]
Initial Struggle & Placement As Kulguru of
Ayodhya Dynasty :
Vishwamitra had to take shelter in the forest
because of shame. From here, he developed

relations with the Ayodhya king Satyavrata alias
Trishanku. With his help, he challenged sage
Vasishtha again. Whenever and wherever Vasishtha
and Vishwamitra use to meet they use to quarrel.
Vasishtha uses to sing the Rigvedic richas (hymens
from Rigveda) whereas Vishwamitra use to sing
opposite Atharvan richas (hymens from
Atharvaveda). Ultimately Vishwamitra killed all
the sons of sage Vasishtha. [9 ]
Swargarohan of Trishanku :
When a proud King Trishanku asked his Kulguru
Vasishtha to send him to heaven with his body
intact. Vasishtha responded that the body cannot
ascend to heaven. King Trishanku then asked
Vashista's hundred sons to send him to heaven. The
sons, believing that Trishanku should not come to
them after their father had refused, took outrage
and cursed Trishanku to be a Chandala. Trishanku
was transformed into a person with body smeared
of ash, clothed in black and wearing iron jewellery.
unrecognizable to his subjects, he was driven out of
the kingdom. In his exile, Trishanku came across
the sage Vishwamitra, who agreed to help him.
Vishvamitra organized a great sacrifice and ritual
propitiating the Gods, pleading that they accept
Trishanku into heaven. Not one Deva responded.
Angered, Vishwamitra used his yogic powers and
ordered Trishanku to rise to heaven. Miraculously,
Trishanku rose into the sky until he reached
heaven, where he was pushed back down by Indra.
Enraged even more by this, Vishvamitra
commenced the creation of another universe
(including another Brahma) for Trishanku.[10] [11] [12]
Seduction by Menaka & Birth of Shakuntala :
Vishwamitra was earlier tested by the Apsara
Rambha. She, however, was also cursed by
Vishvamitra. Menaka was one of the most
beautiful celestial nymph (Apsara) with quick
intelligence and innate talent. Because of the power
achieved through penance, Vishvamitra frightened
the gods and even tried to create another heaven.
Frightened by Vishvamitra's powers, Indra the king
of Gods sent Menaka from heaven to earth to lure
Vishwamitra and break his meditation. However,
Menaka was not ready for this knowing the
condition of earlier sent nymph Rambha. Menaka
successfully ignited Vishvamitra's lust and passion.
However, she fell in genuine love with him and a
girl called ‘Shakuntala’ was born to them out of
this union. Maneka left the new-born infant on the
bank of that river Malini near Himavat Mountain
and went away. Shakuntala later grew in Sage
Kanva rishi’s ashram. Later, Shakuntala falls in
love with King Dushyanta and gives birth to a child
called Bharata. Vishvamitra then travels south to
the Godavari to resume his austerities. He settled
there down at a spot next where Śiva stood as
Kālañjara.[13]
Rescue of Shunushepa :
While undertaking a penance, Kaushika helps a boy
named Shanushepa who has been sold by his
parents to be sacrificed at Harischandra’s Yagnya
to please Varuna. The king Harishhandra's son
Rohit does not want to be the one sacrificed, as was
originally promised to Varuna, so young
Sunashepa is taken (From Ruchik located at
Bhrugutung mountain). A devastated and terrified
Sunashepa falls at the feet of Kaushika, who is
deep in meditation and begs for his help. Kaushika
teaches secret mantras to Sunashepa. The boy sings
these mantras at the ceremony, is blessed by
Mitra and Varuna and Ambarisha's ceremony is

completed. After the rescue of Shunushepa, sage
Vishwamitra observed austerity at Pushkar for
many years.[14]
Becoming the Maharishi :
Later Vishwamitra went to Himalaya and started
observing penance on the bank of river Kaushiki
for many years. Sages and God recommended to
lord Bramha that Vishwamitra be granted as the
status of ‘Maharishi. Accordingly, lord Bramha
granted the status of ‘Maharishi’ to the rishi
Vishwamitra But displeased with this, Vishwamitra
asked for the status of ‘Bramharishi’ but Bramha
told him that since he could not win over the lust,
he can’t be granted that status.[15]
Seduction Attempt by Rambha :
Having denied the status of Bramharishi,
Vishwamitra again started observing great penance
due to which Indra felt insecure. And, he sent the
celestial nyph called ‘Rambha’ to seduce rishi
Vishwamitra. She tried to lure him with her song
and dance but with earlier experience of Menaka
and awareness about trap of Indra. He instantly
cursed Rambha to become motionless like stone
until someone from Vasishtha’s lineage makes her
pure. But Vishwamitra repented for not controlling
the anger.[16]
Rise of Vishwamitra As Bramhrishi :
After cursing Rambha, Vishvamitra goes to the
highest mountain of Himalayas to perform an even
more severe tapasya for over 1000 years. He ceases
to eat and reduces his breathing to a bare minimum.
He is tested again by Indra, who comes as a poor
Bramhin begging for food just as Kaushika is ready
to break a fast of many years by eating some rice.
Kaushika instantly gives his food away to Indra and
resumes his meditation. Kaushika also finally
masters his passions, refusing to be provoked by
any of Indra's testing and seductive interferences.
At the penultimate culmination of a multi-
thousand-year journey, Kaushika's yogic power is
at a peak. At this point, Brahma, as the head of
Devas led by Indra, names Kaushika a
Bramharishi and names him Vishvamitra (Friend
of All). He then goes to meet Vashishta. It was
customary that, if a sage was greeted by an equal or
superior person, the sage would also greet the
person. Initially, when Vishvamitra greeted
Vashishta with the pride of being a new
Brahmarishi in heart, Vashishta simply blessed
him. Suddenly all pride and desire left
Vishvamitra's heart and he became a clean and
clear Brahmarishi. When Vishvamitra turned back
to leave, Vashishta realised a change of heart and
proceeded to greet Vishvamitra. Vishvamitra is also
embraced by Vasishtha and their enmity is instantly
ended.[17]
As a teacher of Rama & Laxmana :
Vishvamitra asked king Dashratha to give his elder
son Rama for the protection of his yagya. King
Dashratha was reluctant to give citing Rama being
minor and unable to fight the horrible monsters.
But later agreed on assurance from Vasishtha and
Vishwamitra He also leads them to the
Swayamwara ceremony for princess Sita, who
becomes wife of Rama. Vishvamitra gave them the
knowledge of the celestial weaponry called Bala
and Ati Bala in the form of Mantras, which helped
them to kill powerful demons like Tadaka, Maricha
and Subahu. By Virtue of this weaponry, one would
never feel fatigue, hunger and one would never
suffer from fever and one would get matchless
vigour. Vishvamitra gave Rama the celestial

completed. After the rescue of Shunushepa, sage
Vishwamitra observed austerity at Pushkar for
many years.[14]
Becoming the Maharishi :
Later Vishwamitra went to Himalaya and started
observing penance on the bank of river Kaushiki
for many years. Sages and God recommended to
lord Bramha that Vishwamitra be granted as the
status of ‘Maharishi. Accordingly, lord Bramha
granted the status of ‘Maharishi’ to the rishi
Vishwamitra But displeased with this, Vishwamitra
asked for the status of ‘Bramharishi’ but Bramha
told him that since he could not win over the lust,
he can’t be granted that status.[15]
Seduction Attempt by Rambha :
Having denied the status of Bramharishi,
Vishwamitra again started observing great penance
due to which Indra felt insecure. And, he sent the
celestial nyph called ‘Rambha’ to seduce rishi
Vishwamitra. She tried to lure him with her song
and dance but with earlier experience of Menaka
and awareness about trap of Indra. He instantly
cursed Rambha to become motionless like stone
until someone from Vasishtha’s lineage makes her
pure. But Vishwamitra repented for not controlling
the anger.[16]
Rise of Vishwamitra As Bramhrishi :
After cursing Rambha, Vishvamitra goes to the
highest mountain of Himalayas to perform an even
more severe tapasya for over 1000 years. He ceases
to eat and reduces his breathing to a bare minimum.
He is tested again by Indra, who comes as a poor
Bramhin begging for food just as Kaushika is ready
to break a fast of many years by eating some rice.
Kaushika instantly gives his food away to Indra and
resumes his meditation. Kaushika also finally
masters his passions, refusing to be provoked by
any of Indra's testing and seductive interferences.

Catalysing The regeneration of Ahilya Through
the Rama :
Ahilya the wife of Gautam rishi was cursed by sage
Gautama for committing the adultery with God
king Indra. On her repentance and request, he asked
her to perform austerity till Rama arrive and accept
her hospitality at the hermitage. Sage Vishwamitra
appraised Rama about this story and took him to
the old Ashram of Gautama while on the way to the
Mithila where Ahilya was living in deserted and
miserable state.Ahilya greeted Rama with utmost
respect and became free from curse. Soon after this
sage Gautama re-accepted her as his wife. [19]
Facilitating The Marriage of Rama :
Vishwamitra introduced the Rama and Laxmana to
the king Janaka of Mithila narrating entire story till
his arrival to Mithila. Vishwamitra also told that
Rama is eager to see the Pinak Bow of lord Shiva
kept at Janaka’s place. Impressed with the valour of
Rama, king Janaka promised that if Rama
successfully lifts that bow then he will marry his
daughter ‘Seeta’ with him. Ultimately Rama lifts
that bow and break it in an attempt to tie thread on
it. As per the promise, Janaka give his daughter to
Rama.[20]
Contribution of Vishwamitra To Ayurveda :
Vishwamitra had written the Famous
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ which had lost in the
course of the time but the references from it are
mentioned by several Ayurvedic commentators.
Vangasena had mentioned the medicinal
preparation called ‘Neelbindu Taila’ from
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’[21]
Both Shrikantahdutta and Chakradhara have
mentioned the reference from ‘Vishwamitra
Samhita’ while mentioning the Kshar Jala. [22] [23]
Chakradhara had mentioned the reference from
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ while mentioning the Amla
Kshara for Pradeha and Seka. [24]
Both Chakradhara and Gayadasa have mentioned
the reference from ‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ while
mentioning the ‘Paristravu Kilas’ disease. [25] [26]
Dalhana mentioned the medicinal preparation
called ‘Kulattha Kshara’ from ‘Vishwamitra
Samhita’. [27]
Chakradhara had mentioned the reference from
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ while mentioning the
flowers to be offered for oblation before making the
Pratisarneeya Kshara.[28]
Both Shrikantahadutta and Dalhana have
mentioned the reference from ‘Vishwamitra
Samhita’ while mentioning the treatment for Mutra
Vikaras particularly for Ashmari.[29] [30]
Chakradhara had mentioned the reference from
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ while mentioning the
process of Aartav and Veerya formation in women
and men respectively.[31]
Nischalkara had mentioned the reference from
‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ while mentioning the
‘Hapushadya Ghrita’ for the treatment of
Gulma.[32]

Observation :
A thorough exploration of classical Ayurvedic
literature, including commentaries and various
Samhitas, reveals numerous references to the
"Vishwamitra Samhita". This indicates that Rishi
Vishwamitra was a highly respected Ayurvedic
scholar of his time. His son, Sushruta, authored the
"Sushruta Samhita", a foundational text on surgical
practices in Ayurveda.
Discussion :
Exploration to the life of sage Vishwamitra shows
that although he belonged to the Kshatriya (warrior
faction) class of society but with his perseverance
and great penance, he achieved the coveted post of
Bramharishi. His life was a saga of many ups and
downs. He was tested by the God king Indra. He
helped king Amabarish to reach heaven with his
physical body intact. He saved the life of innocent
boy ‘Shunushepa’. He pioneered the powerful
‘Gayatri Mantra’. He guided Rama and Laxmana.
He was instrumental in their marriage. He taught
many vidyas to them and also gave them the
knowledge of celestial weaponry. He brought out
the deliverance of the Ahilya the wife of sage
Gautama. Vishwamitra learned Ayurveda from
sage Bhardwaja and in turn taught it to his sons and
disciples. Famous Ayurvedic acharyas namely
Sushruta and Harita were his sons. Sushruta wrote
famous book on surgical practices whereas Harita
wrote book on medicine. The large number of
references from ancient ‘Vishwamitra Samhita’ are
observed in many Ayurvedic commentaries.
Conclusion :
It is thus concluded that Rishi Vishwamitra was a
prominent figure in ancient Ayurvedic science. His
treatise, "Vishwamitra Samhita", was available and
referenced until at least the 17th century AD as we
find so many references of ancient Vishwamitra
Samhita in various commentaries. Unfortunately,
this masterwork has been lost in the course of time.
Therefore, it becomes imperative to search for and
recover this invaluable asset of Ayurvedic wisdom.
