Abstract	The Purana, as encyclopedic repositories of Indian knowledge systems, contain significant references to Ayurveda, cosmology, and human physiology. Among these, Kriya sharir—the study of functional aspects of the human body—emerges as a crucial domain bridging classical Ayurvedic thought with modern biomedical frameworks. This article explores the methodological and philosophical dimensions of developing a digital corpus of Ayurvedic content in the Puranas, with special emphasis on Kriya sharir. It outlines corpus design, annotation protocols, semantic tagging, and interdisciplinary relevance, thereby contributing to digital humanities and medical history.
