''Samanya'' (is the principle which ) enables to understand similarity (between objects), and ''vishesha'' (is the principle which) enables to understand distinction(between objects). Again similarity proposes similar purpose (or action) while dissimilarity has opposite one.[45]

'''Contemporary view'''
It has been referred from Vaisheshika [http://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisheshika] school of thought. The principle is also translated in various texts as principle of generality and specificity,sameness and antagonism, homologous and heterologous, and similar or dissimilar. The generality (i.e.sameness, homology, similarity) unifies similar substances having similar properties and action, and specificity (i.e. particularity,antagonism, heterology, dissimilarity) denotes dissimilarity of substances. The principle is applicable in every aspect of life including human biology as well as in nature. It is also important in preservation of health and treatment of diseases. The universal significance of principle of Samanya and Vishesha beyond Ayurveda is proved through three case studies viz. Case of family, Case of climate change induced biodiversity depletion and Case of poverty reduction and access to health care by Pandey DN and Pandey NP.<ref> Pandey Deep Narayan , Pandey Neha Prakash.
