ABSTRACT

In previous days or even now, Ayurveda is not only medicine rather it is philosophy of life. It had been told that body is made up of five „Mahabhootas and Atma‟. These are called as six elements of „Purusha‟ (Ch. Sha. 1/16). All the indriyas are derived from Mahabhootas. So every part of the body has the properties of Mahabhootas. The same thing is true for eye also. Eye is originated from five elements with their attributes. Its muscular portion is contributed by the Prithvi component, blood by the Agni component, black portion by the Vayu, white portion by water and tear channels by the Akasha (Su. Ut. 1/11). Upanishada and Aranyaka literatures are more religious and it had been tried to emphasis that every part of eye has its own God.
