Agniveśa figures prominently in the *Carakasaṃhitā* as the foremost pupil of Ātreya Punarvasu. 141 His special position in the *Carakasaṃhitā* is illustrated by the story that, on account of his extraordinary intelligence (buddhiviśeṣa), he was the first to compose a treatise (tantra) based on the teachings of Ātreya (Ca.Sū.1.32). This *Agniveśatantra* was the basis of the *Carakasaṃhitā*.
