CONCEPTUAL IMPORTANCE OF TANTRAYUKTI IN AYURVEDIC LITERARY RESEARCH

  • Unique Paper ID: 187803
  • PageNo: 7171-7177
  • Abstract:
  • Ayurvedic treatises have been systematically composed through well-defined principles known as Tantrayukti. These principles act as intellectual tools that help in proper planning, logical interpretation, and accurate understanding of various components of a text. Yukti enables the thoughtful analysis of diverse variables, thereby supporting correct judgment and knowledge acquisition. Tantrayukti represents the methodological devices used to structure, explain, and validate the concepts laid down in a Tantra (treatise). By applying Tantrayukti, classical Ayurvedic authors eliminated inconsistencies (Tantradosha) and incorporated qualities that enhance clarity and coherence (Tantraguna). The fundamental purpose of Tantrayukti is to help readers grasp the intended message of the text by elaborating complex ideas, clarifying statements, and ensuring appropriate sequence and precise meaning. Through the application of these techniques, ambiguous topics can be made clear, concise points can be expanded, and hidden meanings can be revealed. Practical application is possible only when one thoroughly understands these methods and gains proficiency in them. Therefore, modern researchers can also benefit from these traditional interpretative tools, particularly in literary, fundamental, clinical, and experimental research. These techniques greatly assist in illuminating implicit meanings and expanding conceptual understanding. The objective of this article is to provide an overview of Tantrayukti—its background, advantages, classifications, and its usefulness as a scientific learning and analytical tool. This will enable readers to appreciate how Tantrayukti can be employed to identify, interpret, and establish new insights concealed within Ayurvedic scriptures.
