Abstract: 
Shalakya Tantra is one among the ashtanga of Ayurveda. it is also called Urdhvanga. Understanding of Shalakya Tantra will help the physician in the planning of treatments for the diseases related to urdhvanga. Sushruta Samhita is considered as the main text for the shalakya references. There are many other treatises which are having hidden chikitsa principles related to shalakya diseases .one such text is bhela Samhita written by acharya bhela. Acharya bhela explained nidana, Lakshana, and chikitsa of various shalakya tantra-related diseases. Unfortunately, 50% part of shiroga roga chikitsa adhyaya is not available. So, it is an attempt to analyze and explore the remaining part for finding out new hidden treatment principles.
