Abstract:-The Samhita and Siddhanta literature of ancient India represents a rich repository of knowledge encompassing various fields, including philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. However, these texts, often written in ancient languages such as Sanskrit and Pali, pose significant challenges for textual criticism and translation. This paper explores the methodologies and challenges involved in the critical analysis and translation of Samhita and Siddhanta texts, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and a nuanced approach.
