Abstract

Yukti is one of the important theories of Charakasamhita. It is one of the basic concepts of Charaksamhita. Yukti is referred to as pariksha, or examination; that is, yukti pariksha is related to the examination of an asat, or indirect subject. In Darshana Shatra, Yukti is compared to Pramana. Pramana is an instrument or subject by whom matter or any text is proved. Yukti is necessary to achieve success; achievement depends on strategies. Yukti is a plan for attaining a particular goal. Yukti is a plan that is executed. Intellectual thinking is important in practical terms. Yukti is helpful to achieve success in Chikitsa.

Introduction

Ayurveda is the science of medicine. The literature of Ayurveda includes many treatises. Charakasamhita is an important treatise among them. In this scripture, many theoretical topics are described. While studying Ayurveda texts, one has to study other theories like philosophy, Darshan Shastra, Sanskrit, etc. As it is the science of medicine, to succeed in therapy, the study of basic siddhantas is necessary. So an attempt has been made to study yukti in Charakasamhita. Yukti is a common word in conversation. Knowledge of any subject is obtained by yukti, or examination. We can call it a tool, a measure, or a plan. In Sanskrit, yukti is a yojana, or combination of many things, concepts, and theories.

Yoga is tantrayukti which is helpful to explain theory by putting different words together. Tantrayuktis are helpful in assistance of understanding other treatise.

Conclusion

Yuktivyapashraya is a type of chikitsa. Yuktibahya medicine is not good. Success depends on yukti; yuktidnya is superior to other vaidya. Yuktidnya is a quality of vaidya. Vaidya can prescribe identical medicines that are not described in the text with Yukti. Yokta is a quality of vaidya. When a vaidya uses his good intelligence (suyukta chikitsa), he avoids making mistakes based on his scriptural knowledge and his own intelligence. Yukti perceives things as indirect. Yukti is Pariksha. Reasoning serves as a source of knowledge by combining numerous factors. Yukti is the result of a combination of multiple factors, valid for trikala and helpful in achieving trivarga. Yukti is in favour of unarjanma. Three upastambhas applied with the help of Yuktiyukta for the full span of their lives. Bhav and Abhav depend on Yukti. Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa includes a proper diet and medicines. Yuktiyukta Sanshodhana has many advantages. We should choose the medicine based on the effectiveness (yukti) of its administration and the specific therapeutic need. Yukti is paradi guna, also called chikitsa siddhi upayabhuta guna. In Jwara, it is important to administer therapies using yukti. Anuman is indirect knowledge based on yukti (reasoning). Krumichikitsa elimination is done with yukti. Yukti Trikala aids in the treatment of Vedana. The combination (yojana, or yukti) of shad and dhatu forms the embryo. While selecting medicines, intelligent vaidya uses yukti for drug additions and deletions. Yukti is useful in the management of diseases caused by excess yapana basti. Yojana, a combination of various words, is a form of yoga. Tantra yukti is useful for explaining different angles of theory. With the aid of tantra yukti, Yuktidnya Vaidya, possessing a strong understanding, is able to comprehend various treatises within a single treaty. Tantra yuktis assist the physician in comprehending the meaning of the treatise's statements.

Therefore, we have made an effort to compile all references to Yukti in Charakasamhita. When merging references, it is possible to mistakenly leave out a reference.
