“…After the thorough analysis of these 12 contexts, it is observed that SGN has been quoted highest times in AD commentary[6] and is a little difficult maxim to understand for an average Ayurvedic scholar as it is stated in two dimensions. SGN is used positively not only for illustrative purpose but also to emphasize the importance of certain points such as clinical essentiality of 50 Mahakashayas for lower intellectuals; severity of Bhutonmada caused by violence; importance of three substances, viz., oil, ghee and honey which alleviates Vata , Pitta and Kapha respectively.…”

Background: Ancient Ayurveda seers presented the knowledge in coded language, in the form of Sutras (verses). These verses are characterized by Padairalpam , Matimbuddhwa , i.e. having few words with concealed meaning with larger applications which can be explored with the help of Sanskrit grammar. Sometimes, just translation of the original verses might not convey the authentic and primary aim of the author as it depends on various factors such as the context, time and place. For this purpose, various commentators have adopted the methodology of integrating Nyayas (maxims) in their respective commentaries. Shringagrahika Nyaya (SGN) also belongs to the same category as it has been mentioned in several contexts in Chakrapani’s Ayurveda Dipika (AD) commentary on Charaka Samhita. It is the maxim of seizing the ox by its horns. The present work is an attempt to explore the different contexts of SGN in AD commentary. Aim and Objective: To explore the significance of SGN in understanding Charaka Samhita in context to AD commentary of Chakrapani. Materials and Methods: Original text of Charaka Samhita along with Chakrapani’s commentary, other available translations and published articles in peer-reviewed journals, published books and subject-related material available online have been thoroughly screened, compiled, organized and described in a systematic manner. Observations: Thorough screening of AD commentary of Charaka Samhita revealed that SGN has been mentioned in 12 different contexts out of which some are in positive and some are in negative sense. In a group of similar objects to indicate a particular one, this maxim has been used. Conclusion: To get authentic apprehension of Ayurvedic treatises, the knowledge of SGN is essential for the physicians, especially for better understanding of Charaka Samhita as well as successful implementation of fundamental concepts for the management of various disease conditions.

Purpose: The main goal of the paper is to pinpoint the variables affecting consumer trust in the use of Ayurvedic products. It seeks to assess the elements that influence the model's advantages, benefits, constraints and disadvantages. The goal is to use the ABCD model to give each aspect the appropriate scores or weights. To further shed light on the intricacies of the subject, the paper also intends to use factor analysis and elementary analysis. Design: This study conducted a thorough evaluation of the literature on the ABCD analytical framework. The study was successful in identifying key influencing factors and critical constituent characteristics that contribute to customer trust in consuming Ayurvedic products by quantitative analysis involving focus group interactions and suitable weightage assignment to essential attributes. Findings: The survey found that many companies and people are adopting a fresh strategy based on sustainability or survival in order to deal with their pressing problems and find quick relief. Focus group talks were used to analyse customer trust in the use of Ayurvedic products, and the ABCD analytic framework application was heavily endorsed for its beneficial elements. The results of this model thus support the effectiveness of using Ayurvedic products. Originality/value: The survey found that many companies and people are adopting a fresh strategy based on sustainability or survival in order to deal with their pressing problems and find quick relief. Focus group talks were used to analyse customer trust in the use of Ayurvedic products, and the ABCD analytic framework application was heavily endorsed for its beneficial elements. The results of this model thus support the effectiveness of using Ayurvedic products. Paper Type: Empirical Paper.

“…Hunger and thirst were quenched through these natural sources. During the process, by intellectual skills, he perceived certain phenomenon called "lokapurusha samyata" [4], also known as "pinda-brahmanda nyaya" [5].

Being close to the nature has helped Ayurveda to develop the principles which are time-tested. The unique concept of commonness between the cosmos and human body is the strength of Ayurveda. The presence of the five elements such as prithvi, jala, teja, vayu and akasha in all the dravya can be deduced from the verse, ‘sarvam dravyam panchabhoutikam’. The body is said to be anitya (temporary) as it undergoes some apoptotic changes each moment. To replenish the lost bodily element, human is dependent on the diet. Ahara being pancabhautika, replenishes the the body to maintain dhatusamyata. A living body has had intrauterine as “garbha” and extrauterine life in the form of “shaddhatuja purusha”. Pancamahabhoota play significant role in garbha avastha in designing the anatomy and physiology of the body. Anatomical or physiological abnormalities seen during or post labour are also attributed to the pancamahabhoota. This works throws light on the role of the five elements in maintaining the normalcy or causing any abnormality in a garbha which may eventually form the base of Ayurveda genetics.
