According to renowned Ayurvedic [[physician]] and [[author]], Dr. [[Vasant Lad]], since the 8th century [[A.D.]] until the present day in [[India]], Ayurvedic medicine [[doctor]]s have to memorize via [[Devanagari]] script thousands of [[verse]]s of the ''[[Charaka Samhita]]'', the ''[[Sushruta Samhita]]'' and the ''[[Astanga Hridayam]]'' and be able to recite them out loud in order to pass their Ayurvedic medical degree oral examinations.

Even in [[America]], where Ayurveda has only been popularized since 1978 when Dr. Lad helped introduce it to American medical practitioners who formally studied with him at the [[Ayurvedic Institute]] in [[New Mexico]], most beginning Ayurvedic practitioners learned at least 150 to 200 words of Ayurvedic Sanskrit. More experienced Ayurvedic practitioners in the USA know up to 300 words of medical Sanskrit.
