v1.c9.s1.54

As regards the Susruta we are on more solid grounds. Its terminology and *technique*, in genenal, do not differ much from those of the Charaka. In style the Susruta is rather dry, pithy, laconic, and matter-of-fact, as the Charaka is discursive and diffuse, and its composition altogether would point to a much later date.
