'Bharadwaja, a great ascetic, went to Indra, the god of gods and the saviour in the quest for longevity.
At first, Prajapati received Ayurveda in its entirety as propounded by Brahma, therefrom the Aswins (received), from Aswins lord Indra received it fully, that is why Bharadwaja, as requested by the sages, came to Indra.'
Caraka Samhita 1.3-5 (translated by PV Sharma)
