: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka鈥檚 Approach to Knowledge

Reason or 鈥淜nowledge gained through Reason鈥� (Sanskrit: yukti) refers to one of various means of accessing exact Knowledge, according to the Charaka Samhita (verse 11.3-6).鈥擟araka assigned an independent status to reason among the means to access knowledge while other authorities included it under inference (Charaka Samhita verse 11.23-24). This was not surprising because Caraka had sought to make Ayurvedic practice (Sanskrit: 测耻办迟颈惫测补辫腻艣谤补测补). His idea of reason in this context involves a series of reasonings to reach a conclusion. For example, one could not predict a good or poor harvest from the quality of the seed alone; it would be necessary to look at other factors such as the quality of the soil, amount of rain fall, manure and so on. Only on a consideration of these related factors could one make an informed prediction of the harvest. This is obviously not inference.
