I am a man in 57, who is doing research in Vedas and enrolled for Ph.D.

When I was referring old magazines I found that Rawana had authored VII Ashtaga in Rig Veda and authored Araka Prakasa.
This deals with Medicine and the same might have called Caraka Samhita in later days.

Is there any Manuscript with you to establish this?

I was told by a visiting Prof from U.S. that they have millions of palm leaves in various places in Museums etc., and he also heard about that! But it needs a search with entire Europe and U.S.
One Srilankan Tamil said, they had the palm leaves manuscript but that went under fire that a huge fire took place in a library in Lanka.
But this find a place in Lahore.
