    • c. 600 BCE – 200 BCE, Caraka, Caraka Saṃhitā 1.9.13:
      मृद्दण्डचक्रसूत्राद्याः कुम्भकाराद्ऋते यथा ।
      नावहन्ति गुणं वैद्यादृते पादत्रयं तथा ॥

      nāvahanti guṇaṃ vaidyādṛte pādatrayaṃ tathā.
      As the clay, baton, thread and wheel are of no use without a potter, so are the three pādas [medicine, attendant, and patient] without a physician.
