Abstract

A Nyaya, or maxim, is a statement of universal truth or rule. Nyayas are used to express the author’s ideas concisely and clearly. Ayurveda has incorporated numerous Nyayas to clarify its teachings. To portray the hidden meaning, Nyaya has mostly been used as a tool by Samhita commentators. In his Ayurveda deepika commentary, Chakrapani a renowned commentator on the Charaka Samhita used several nyayas, including kaakadanta pareeksha, Ghunaakshara Nyaya, Chhatrino gachchhanti Nyaya, and others in diverse situations. A deeper understanding of the samhita will result from the analysis of these nyayas.
