Conclusion
Estimate of the literary and aesthetic aspects of Nadiprakasam :
Nadiprakasam is to be judged by its value to humanity. Its value is determined by the principles to what extent does it contribute to the progress of mankind in the field of Indian Medical Science by contributing more knowledge for the benefit of all suffering men afflcted with diseases.
The technique used in the work for proper criticism distinguishes its subject-matter and guides one to a finer appreciation of composition and makes him realize more clearly and completely what the author has meant there. Nadiprakasam testifies sufficiently to the linguistic and literary development of its age, and to its value to mankind by conveying the knowledge of the science of pulse to some extent.
It deals with the method of examining the pulse, the subject of examination of the pulse whether the disease is vataja or pittaja or kaphaja or dvandvaja or sannipataja or curable or incurable.
