Ayurveda-the ancient science of life, or rather was, rooted both in practical health sciences and deep philosophy. One of the chief texts that stands as a foundation for Padarth Vigyan serves as a subject that bends philosophy toward Ayurveda. At CSS Banaras, we are proud to present the Padarth Vigyan book in our classical Ayurvedic literature collection meant especially for students, scholars, and practitioners of Ayurveda.
What is Padarth Vigyan?
Translated literally, it means “science of categories” and is a primary idea in Indian philosophy and Ayurveda. The concept investigates common elements or categories that define reality. Originating in Nyaya and Vaisheshika Darshana, it discusses how knowledge is gained, what the structure of the world is, and how that knowledge is used in health and medicine.
The term “Padarth” means “object” or “category,” and “Vigyan” means “science” or “knowledge.” Together, Padarth Vigyan refers to the detailed understanding of the six or seven classical categories that make up everything in the universe, including:
-
Dravya (Substance)
-
Guna (Quality)
-
Karma (Action)
-
Samanya (Generality)
-
Vishesha (Particularity)
-
Samavaya (Inherence)
Abhava (Absence) – sometimes added as the seventh category
An understanding of these concepts is indeed essential for prospective Ayurveda students, as they provide the basic theoretical foundation for disease diagnosis and treatment principles, extending even to the understanding of medicinal herbs.
