7. Tantra
Yukti
i
s one of most important tool to understand
shastra
then why it is explained at the end of samhita
(Cha Chi 12th, Sushrutha
Uttar 65th, Astanga
S
angraha
Uttar 50th)? 1. The first commentator of charaka
s
amhita, bhatta
H
arish
Chandra who wrote Charaka Nyasa, explained Tantra Yukti
i
mmediately after Mangal
acharana. As he said for
better understanding of shastra
one should be well versed
in Tantra
Yukti.
2. Arundatta, Commentator of Ashtangrudhaya
says first
one should byheart
t
he shastra
t
hen manana, chintana
and at last Tantra
Y
ukti
should be learnt. Hence here
he is supporting the fact the Tantra
Y
ukti
should be
explained at the last.

8. Importance of Tantra
Yukti:
Just as the sun blows cluster of lotus and lighted lamp lights the inside of a room at their best, so does the Tantra Yukti
a
nd help to understand the science fully and
correctly.
