In the first year of study of Ayurveda, the students usually have a confused outlook on the subjects. Padartha Vijnaana becomes a tough subject as they have no previous outlook on the aspects studied with many times problems with the language. Hence it is the need of the time to have a concise book dealing with the basics of the subject. Thus emboldened by many, this book has been compiled for the study based on the present syllabus points. The Sanskrit name -Padartha Vijnaana is a composite term consisting of two terms- Padartha and Vijnaana. Padartha has been said as a ‘category’. It is said to have existence or anything that could be understood. Concerning Ayurveda, Padartha concentrates on a Dravya (substance) – Guna (property) and Karma (action). These influence Saamaanya (generality/similarity) -Vishesha (specialty/dissimilarity) and Samavaaya (inherence). Vijnaanam means special knowledge. This special knowledge is attained through the Pramaanas (the instruments of knowledge).
