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.
Panini's Ashtadhyayi is another exemplary illustration of this yukti, for it is the masterpiece of most orderly writing. Ancient poeticians (Bhamaha, Vamana, Dandi, Rajashekhara, Hemachandra to name a few) have used this yukti expertly in their works.
In the modern days, this yukti is similar to the outline or table of contents, an arrangement which facilitates the conception of all major and minor topics of a scientific work, their interpretation and enumeration.
