Correlation of Trividha Pariksha with Chaturvidha Pramana: A Review Article

Abstract

In Ayurveda, the word “Pariksha” is used for Pramana. Pariksha is composed of two words “Pari” means “all  around” and “iksha” means “to inspect or view.” The synonyms of Pariksha are Pramana, Saadhana, Jynana,  and Uplabdhi. Any abnormality in the normal structural or physiological aspect of the body develops a disease.  For proper treatment of the disease, proper diagnosis is a must. Before treatment of the disease, an examination is  necessary. Examination of disease can be done with the help of Trividha Pariksha, that is, – Darshana, Sparshana,  and Prashana. Pariksha helps in understanding the condition of the patient. Trividha Pariksha is done by the method  of Chaturvidha Pramana, that is, Aaptopdesha, Pratyaksha, Anumana, and Yukti which tell the object truly. To determine the specific character of the disease proper examination  is needed. For examination of a specific disease, all four Pramana are required. After examination of the disease by these Pramana, the  physician should obtain knowledge regarding the nature of the disease  and what treatment or therapy is required. Appropriate examination is  required to identify the unique features of illnesses. However, some  diseases require all of the Pramanas to be determined, whereas other  diseases just require one or two Pramanas. For instance, all that is required  to appreciate Agnimandya is Aptopadesha and Anumana Pramana.  Following an examination of the illness by these Pramanas, the doctor  should learn about the nature of the illness and the necessary treatments.  Askilled doctor who understands the condition and how to treat it will be  unable to treat it if the Pareekshas are not performed correctly. A person  who behaves appropriately will get appropriate outcomes. In Trividha Rogi Pariksha, that is, Darshana, Sparshana, and Prashana  patients are clinically examined through Chaturvidha Pramana.
