Many nyaya are mentioned in Dalhana's commentaries on Sushruta Samhita in Nibandhasangraha and Gayadasa's Nyayachandrika. Even Vagbhatacharya in Ashtanga Hridaya and Sangraha quoted various nyayas to establish various concepts.

== Method of analyzing a nyaya (maxim) ==

Analysis can be done in 4 steps: Step 1: Padartha jnana (meaning): Proper knowledge of the words in nyaya. Step 2: Prakriya vijnana (phenomenon): Eliciting phenomenon that is implicated in the nyaya. Step 3: Sandharbha (context): Knowledge of the context in which nyaya is incorporated. Step 4: Yukti (interpretation): Analysis of padartha jnana, prakriya of nyaya with the sandarbha in samhita.

== Classification of maxims (nyayas) ==

<ol type="A"><li style="font-weight:bold">Based on their existence, these maxims come under mainly two divisions viz. Nyayas in original verses and Nyayas in commentaries. Original verses such as Tilapidaka Nyaya, Babhrugudha Nyaya, Bhuyasa Alpam Avajiyate Nyaya, Pipilika-Bharaharana Nyaya, Utsargapavada Nyaya, Ambujavanasyarkaha Nyaya, Durgruhita Sugruhita Nyaya in Charak Samhita; Chandana-Bhara-Hara Khara Nyaya, Shabda Archi Jala Santanavat Nyaya, Taila Patra Dhara Nyaya and Visha-Krimi Nyaya in Sushrut Samhita; Munja dishikhoddharana Nyaya, Nira ksheera viveka Nyaya and Ratho-vahamano Nyaya in Ashtanga Hridaya.</li>

<li style="font-weight:bold">Based on utility or applicability: These nyayas can be categorized. However, nyayas are sagacious, they not only enhance the text or literature but also bring up a scholastic blush to it. </li></ol>
