== Role of Tantrayuktis ==
Charaka aptly summarizes the role of tantrayuktis as follows<blockquote>यथाऽम्बुजवनस्यार्कः प्रदीपो वेश्मनो यथा ॥ 46</blockquote><blockquote>प्रबोध (न) प्रकाशार्थास्तथा तन्त्रस्य युक्तयः । एकस्मिन्नपि यस्येह शास्त्रे लब्दास्पदा मतिः॥ 47</blockquote><blockquote>स शास्त्रमन्यदप्याशु युक्तिज्ञत्वात् प्रबुध्यते । </blockquote>Meaning : Just as the sun causes a bed of lotuses to blossom, just a a lamp lights up a house, so also the tantrayuktis shed light on the meanings of the scientific subjects. He who gains a thorough knowledge of a shastra along with these tantrayuktis can quickly gain knowledge of another discipline too because of युक्तिज्ञत्वम् । knowledge of yuktis.
Chakrapanidatta further refines Charaka's views by adding that along with bringing out the full exposition of the scientific topic, tantrayuktis also throw light on the hidden meaning of the content. By learning these, a medical practitioner not only saves himself from injudicious handling but also saves the life of the patient.
Sushruta, clearly states that the purpose of tantrayuktis is two-fold namely, the arrangement of the sentences and the organization of the meanings.<ref name=":0" />
