For example, Vidhanam, a yukti is used in Arthashastra. It is defined by Kautilya as शास्त्रस्य प्रकरणानुपूर्वी विधानम् to mean 'Treatment of topics in their inherent order'.<ref name=":0" /> Kautilya applies this yukti in his own text, Arthashastra, where प्रकरणाधिकरणसमुद्देशः lists the sections of the work. The subtopics start with विद्यासमुद्देशः (Chapter about Knowledge) वृद्धसंयोगः (Chapter about company of learned elders), इन्द्रियजयः (Chapter about conquering senses), अमात्योत्पत्तिः (Chapter about recruiting ministers) are placed in their natural sequence.

|Vamana's Kavyalankarasutrani details this yukti. After discussing अश्लीलम् (impropriety) and क्लिष्टम् (difficult to understand) पददोषाः (Errors in Words), Vamana observes 'अन्त्याभ्यं वाक्यं व्याख्यातम्।' suggesting that such errors are extended in the case of Vakyas (sentences) also.
