<li>The use of sandalwood (Chandana) in treating burning sensation, or advice of fasting (langhana) in treatment of fever (jwara) are examples of preaching shastra that have become popular in the community. Thus, all the instances in practice are based on the foundation of shastra itself. (A.H.Uttar Tantra.40/71) </li>

== Criteria for exquisite literature or science (shastra pariksha) (Cha.Sa.Vimana Sthana .8/3) ==
<p style='text-align:justify;'>One must properly assess and examine the treatise or literature before progressing toward learning and applying the same. This is termed ‘shastra pariksha’ or ‘tantra guna’. It involves the assessment of the following aspects:
<ol><li>Comprehensive, detailed (sumahat)</li>
<li> Followed by the learned, wise, and successful men (yashashvi dheera purusha sevita) </li>
<li>With detailed descriptions (arthabahulam) </li>
<li>Authentic, followed by authorities (aaptajanapujitam) </li>
<li>Suitable for learners of varied intellects (trividha shishya buddhi hitam) </li>
<li>Devoid of repetition (apagata punarukta dosham) </li>
<li>Preached by learned sages or experienced persons (arsham) </li>
<li>Well presented in the form of discussions-conclusions (supranita sutra bhashya sangraha krama) </li>
<li>Well established, having a firm base of knowledge (swadharam) </li>
<li>Devoid of inappropriate words or derogatory language (anavapatita shabda) </li>
<li>Devoid of jargons and complicated language (akashta shabda) </li>
<li>Extensively written with detailed description (pushkala- abhidhanam) </li>
<li>Well arranged (kramagatartha) </li>
<li>Reveals clear meanings and concrete conclusions (artha-tattva-vinishchaya pradhana) </li>
<li>Dealing with relevant topics (sangatartha) </li>
<li>Devoid of complicated terms and concepts (asankula prakarana) </li>
<li>Easy to grasp and understand (ashuprabodhaka) </li>
<li>Exemplary (lakshanvat udaharanavat) </li><ol>
The shastra with the presence of such characteristics should only be considered for the purpose of the study. The knowledge obtained from such shastra is considered to be enlightening. It helps to eliminate the darkness in the form of ignorance or lack of knowledge. </p>
