| Abstract: | Ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest scientific traditions, is founded on principles of experiential knowledge, systematic observation, and logical reasoning. Central to its epistemological foundation is the concept of Pramana, which denotes valid means of acquiring and validating knowledge. This analytical review explores the relevance and applicability of Pramana within the framework of modern research methodology. The study involved a comprehensive examination of classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita and associated philosophical literature, supported by contemporary interpretations. Findings reveal that the four principal Pramanas: Pratyaksha (perception), Anumana (inference), Aptopadesha (authoritative knowledge), and Yukti (logical reasoning) closely correspond to modern stages of research: observation, hypothesis formation, literature review, and analytical reasoning. Extended forms like Upamana (analogy) and Arthapatti (presumption) further align with comparative and inductive methods used in scientific studies. Thus, Pramana serves as an indigenous research model emphasising accuracy, rationality, and validation. The review highlights that integrating this traditional epistemological framework can enrich modern evidence-based research by providing a holistic and philosophical foundation for systematic inquiry and interpretation. |
