Abirlal Gangopadhyay, J. S. R. Prasad
The non-medical Sanskrit texts have indirect references to music as a therapy in ancient India. The vaidyas used it as an alternative therapeutic technique in addition to conventional treatment methods for coma and post-coma complications, tuberculosis, pitta aggravation, protective measures for newborns and in cases of mental distress to regain homeostasis. They also used soothing, pleasant music and employed efficient musicians to execute it. Caraka was the first physician who suggested employing musicians as supporting staff in public hospitals. In spite of such valuable references, music therapy did not become a separate branch of research in ancient India. Strikingly, there are similarities and differences in modern music therapy vis-à-vis therapeutic elements of music mentioned in Bṛhattrayī and some other important texts. This paper tries to review all such issues to demonstrate the contemporary relevance of the therapeutic effects of music in ancient India.

Raghava S. Boddupalli
In the Atharvaveda, two distinct words are mentioned namely, the krimi and kṛmi. The word kṛmi means insect (kīṭakamu) and whereas krimi refers to worm/germ. It mentions a large number of skin diseases, both of major and minor types, caused by the micro-organisms (krimi), which are of human concern. It describes the skin diseases, twak rogas, in the name of takman, yakṣma, kuṣṭa, kilasa, palita and śvitra, having grey and white spots, generally from deeper layers of skin and refers herbal remedies for them. A deep knowledge of the herbs and their various medicinal properties can be inferred from many of the Atharvaveda hymns for skin disorders. In this article, the human skin diseases revealed in the Atharvaveda, their classification, causative factors, liturgies and a number of herbal medical remedies with special reference to skin disorders are discussed.
