Changes

Charaka Samhita clearly mentions terms Karya and Karana in the context of 10 fold assessment of disease and the diseased, for success treatments in practice of Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, ‘Karya’ is ‘establishing the Dhatusamya’ (balanced state of body elements) while the Karanas are said to be 6 padarthas namely Samanya, Vishesha, Dravya, Guna, Karma and Samavaya. The expansion and application of Satkaryavada in Ayurveda can also be found while describing the cause and effect relationship between defects present in male & female gametes and anomalies in the fetus.

Sankhya Darshana has proposed a theory for evolution of matter which is known as ‘Parinamavada’. This theory advocates the process of evolution through transformation of properties. Ayurveda has adopted the theory of Parinamana (Transformation) in different backgrounds like Dhatuparinamana (Nourishment and development of Dhatus through transformation process), Vipaka (Transformation of original Rasa or taste into other after the process of digestion) etc.

This similarity in the acceptance of basic process of Parinaman behind the process of obtaining new or modified attributes in a particular substance (due to the Agni symbolic of fire element) indicates influence of Sanskhya darshana on Ayurveda.
