|description=A writer on Medicine who lived in Vedic times. He is believed to have been an incarnation (''Avatara) ''of the Serpent ''Sesha'', i.e., an embodiment of divine Wisdom, since Sesha‐Naga, the King of the “Serpent” race, is synonymous with Ananta, the seven‐ headed Serpent, on which Vishnu sleeps during the ''pralayas. Ananta ''is the “endless” and the symbol of eternity, and as such, one with Space, while Sesha is only periodical in his manifestations. Hence while Vishnu is identified with ''Ananta, ''Charaka is only the Avatar of Sesha. (See “Ananta” and “Sesha”.) {{ctd-source|TG}}. | |description=A writer on Medicine who lived in Vedic times.
