A Critical Study on Arthāśrayas with Special Reference to the Caraka Saṃhitā

Abstract Ayurvedic classics are composed in a concise aphoristic (Sūtra) style that conveys profound meanings within minimal linguistic expression. Accurate comprehension of such texts therefore necessitates the use of systematic interpretative tools developed by classical commentators. Among these, Arthāśraya—the substratum of meaning—plays a pivotal role in uncovering implied, contextual, grammatical, and doctrinal significances embedded within the Sūtras. The present study, “A Critical Study on Arthāśrayas w.s.r to the Caraka Saṃhitā,” aims to critically analyze the concept, classification, and application of Arthāśrayas in classical Ayurvedic literature. The study is based on a literary review of the Caraka Saṃhitā with Chakrapāṇi’s Āyurveda Dīpikā and the Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdaya with Arunadatta’s Sarvāṅgasundarā, supplemented by relevant secondary sources. Twenty-one Arthāśrayas described by classical commentators were examined through systematic textual analysis, with illustrative examples drawn from various sections of the Caraka Saṃhitā. The findings reveal that Arthāśrayas function at both grammatical and conceptual levels to resolve ellipses, clarify contextual meanings, explain causal relationships, and ensure accurate doctrinal and clinical interpretation. The study highlights the indispensable role of Arthāśrayas in bridging textual brevity with comprehensive understanding, thereby strengthening Ayurvedic education, textual scholarship, and clinical reasoning.
