Revisiting the Translational Paradigm in Ayurveda: A Critical Narrative Review of a Conceptual Framework

Abstract The concept of translational research has emerged as a central paradigm in contemporary biomedical science, emphasizing the transformation of theoretical knowledge into clinical and public health applications. Traditional systems of medicine, particularly Ayurveda, have long embodied a similar orientation toward practical applicability. The article by P Ram Manohar proposes that Ayurveda inherently functions as a translational knowledge system through its structural and epistemological foundations. This narrative review critically evaluates the conceptual, methodological, and epistemological dimensions of this proposition. While the article offers a philosophically rich framework aligning Ayurveda with translational research, it reveals significant limitations in terms of scientific validation, methodological clarity, and operationalization of core concepts. A deeper epistemological analysis highlights fundamental differences between Ayurvedic and modern biomedical paradigms, particularly in relation to knowledge generation, validation, and application. The review argues that meaningful integration requires not merely structural alignment but the development of an integrative epistemology capable of accommodating both systems.
