Abstract:
Charaka samhita possesses a unique methodology to deliver knowledge to
achieve its ‘pratijna’. This methodology termed as ‘Tantra’. Sthana (division), Adhyay
(Chapter) and Prashana (topic) which divided principles of samhita are part of this
methodology.
Among them, Sutrasthana has special methodology which divided it through
‘chatushka’. Among them, 'Sangraha dway' describes collection of principles of
whole samhita. Description of two adhyays of 'Sangraha dway' divided process of
‘Ayu’ and its knowledge (Ved/tantra) into two parts.
Here, humble effort has been done to elaborated description of 'Sangraha
dway' on the respect of process of ayu and description of tantra. To link principles of
these two parts, methodology of tantra termed as ‘Tantrana’ and methodology of
chatushka have been described.
