Abstract

The Term 'Padartha' comprises two terms namely 'Pada' and 'Artha'. Pada refers to any object, a word or an inflected word or the stem of noun in the middle cases. The term ‘Artha’ refers to aim, purpose or meaning Thus the term Padartha denotes the meaning of any specific term. All Padartha in the universe are classified as existent (Bhava) or non-Existent (Abhava) termed “Sat” and “Asat” Respectively, Charak Samhita and Vaisheshika philosophy, classifies these Bhava Padartha into six Padartha but with alterations in sequence. Charak Samhita being a medical text focuses on the clinical aspect of the concept, Shad Padartha are Samanya, Vishesha, Guna, Dravya, Karma, Samvaya. “Samanya Vishesh Siddhanta” is one such major principle of Ayurveda Chikitsa Siddhant (Principles of Treatment) which helps to maintain body in healthy equilibrium.
