DISSERTATION TITLE: ANALYSIS OF TACHEELYADI TECHNIQUES IN SUTRASTHANA OF ASHTANGA HRIDAYA
TIME: 2:00-4:00 PM
VENUE: COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
ABSTRACT
Samhitas are the prime documented source of knowledge on Ayurveda. These treatises are written in much condensed form,
mostly sutra. There are various techniques described in the Samhita itself which are meant for the lucid and better
understanding of the sutras. These include
tantrayukti, arthashraya, kalpana,
vyakhya and tacheelyadi. Tacheelyadi
are the techniques of writing and understanding treatises. Tacheelyadi techniques are used to highlight the meaning of terms, to distinguish and
align the apt meaning to the words which are
equivalents, to line up the meaning of the word based on the context of
application, to understand the untold part of a sentence
etc.
Though tacheelyadi techniques
are mentioned along with similar techniques in the samhitas like tantrayukti,
it remains unexplored and less analysed in the understanding of sutras. Therefore the identification and
analysis of tacheelyadi techniques in
sutras need to be done for the
benefit of learners in Ayurveda. Sutrasthana of Ashtanga Hridaya is selected
for analysing the usage of
tacheelyadi in it. Sutrasthana explains the basic principles of Ayurveda and is the first and most important
sthana among the six sthanas.
The information in Sutrasthana
is in the form of general statements applicable to other sthanas also. Hence
this study aims to analyse tacheelyadi techniques in Sutrasthana of Ashtanga Hridaya.

TIME: 2:00-4:00 PM
VENUE: COLLEGE AUDITORIUM
ABSTRACT
Ayurveda is the science of longevity which is based
on agama, recorded in samhitas by
acharyas who are epitomes of knowledge. Samhitas are texts in concise form
where every small aphorism
encompasses a vast meaning in a particular style. The ancient scholars of Ayurveda while writing a treatise adopted
some unique methodologies in expressing their
ideas and the learner should be acquainted with these methodologies to
understand their ideas perfectly. The most
important technique among them is Tantrayukti.
Ashtanga Sangraha of Acharya Vagbhata is a compiled
text which explains all the branches
of Ayurveda in a lucid manner so that it can be clearly understood. The aim of
the study is to analyse the
application of Tantrayukti in Chikitsasthana of Ashtanga Sangraha, to describe
various aspects of the treatment principles mentioned in it.
The study started with the identification of 36
Tantrayukti mentioned by Indu in his Sasilekha
commentary on Uthara sthana of Ashtanga Sangraha. Analysis of Tantrayukti in 10 chapters out of 24 chapters was done.
Adhikarana, Padartha and Yoga are used in all sutras. Adhikarana, Yoga, Padartha,
Hetwartha, Uddhesha, Pradesha,
Vakyasesha, Prayojana, Atidesha,
Prasanga, Ateetaveksha, Anagataveksha, Oohyam, Samucchayam, Niyoga and Vikalpa are used in almost 10 chapters.
Depending on the nature of usage of Tantrayukti, it can be classified under the categories-methodological,
analytical and interpretational. Among 36
Tantrayukti 50% are used in methodological aspect 41.67% in
interpretational aspect and 33.33% in
analytical aspect. After completion of 24 chapters the compiled and the final
data will be arranged systematically.
The study will help to improve the understanding of the text among Ayurvedic community
in its real sense.
