Abstract
Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine, with a huge history of contributors and contributions. Our Ayurveda preceptors described the concepts in the form of verse and commentary throughout the treatises. It is essential to analyze these concepts to understand the basic principles of Ayurveda, including diagnosis methods and treatment of diseases. Some of the difficult concepts are not understood by all three types of students (brilliant, moderate, and less intelligent) due to lack of applicability of Ayurvedic knowledge. Our Acharyas have been introduced learning methods like Tantrayukti, Nyaya, Vadamarga, Upama and other methods to understand the complex subject matter. Numerous lists of Upamas (Analogies) are cited in Brihat-Trayee (Greater Trios) and its utility in Ayurvedic medical education.Upama is similar or resembling words and examples to make it easy to grasp Ayurveda concepts. In this review article, the author has tried to collect and critically comprehend all references of Upama cited in Sutrasthana.
