''Meemansa'' (name of a philosophy trend), Nyaya (name of a philosophy trend) and vyakarana ( grammar) are used for proper interpretation of Vedas. Vaidya should have knowledge of Sankhya, Jyotish Shastra and Vaisheshika etc.<ref>Dalhana, commentary on Sushruta Samhita (Sutra Sthana.4/7) available on http://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/esushruta/?mod=adhi retrieved on June 10,2019</ref> Being part of Vaidic literature, Meemansa, Nyaya and Vyakarana are most useful for proper interpretation of [[Ayurveda]] also. But [[Ayurveda]] has developed it own unique methodology for proper interpretation, termed as Tantrayukti in which certain important points from these Darshana or other sciences are already incorporated. Tantrayukti is the methodology or technique or systemic approach of studying a Tantra (science) to interpret its correct, unambiguous meaning for the  precise practical application.<ref>Mhetre H.B.

In a adhyaya(chapter), there can be multiple adhikarana. The meaning of the words or statements, is to be understood based on the adhikarana in which they are used. Therefore, knowing adhikarana, is important. Even the modes of action of medicines can be understood as per the aadhikarana. E.g. In Chikitsa sthana 8th chapter, Under [[Rajayakshma Chikitsa]], there are multiple adhikarana. [[Sitopaladi choorna]] is used in kasa adhikara, while [[talisadi choorna]] is used in arochaka adhikara. This enables us to understand the peculiarities of the actions of both these formulations.

===15. Prasanga(Restatement in other context)===

It is a virtue by which allusion is made to things repeatedly described in other chapter in different context. Here it is necessary, to refer certain facts, for proper understanding of concepts at other places in other contexts. So this is not mere repetition. E.g.  As per [[Charak Samhita]], only ''sama prakriti'' (balanced state of all three doshas) is Prakriti (natural), and Vatala (Vata dominant) etc. Prakriti (specific body constitution with predominance of one or two doshas) are termed as in fact vikriti (imbalance, abnormality). Therefore, the treatment for them is described in seventh chapter of [[Sutra Sthana]] in [[Naveganadharaniya Adhyaya # Preservation of health and equilibrium|(Cha.Su.7/41)]]. This is restated in sixth chapter of [[Vimana Sthana]] [[Roganika Vimana # Management of persons having different types of physical constitution | (Cha.Vi.6/14-18)]] to discuss about treatment for vatala etc.
