ABSTRACT
Evidence-based research is highly needed for global recognition and acceptance of Ayurveda, which needs further advancements in the research methodology. The term ‘Samhita’ refers to the complete compilation of specific beneficial knowledge necessary for the development of different aspects of life. Time-oriented study methods were needed in every science in this universe. Charaka Samhita pursues a different variety of presentation which introduces seminars, debates, etc, in the form of discussion between scholars and learners and as narration of information. The Vimana Sathana is a unique and detailed section that has an explanation contributed by Charaka on research. One such learning methodology, right from the inauguration of learning to the attainment of higher education, i.e, Adhyayana, Adhyapana, Tadvidya sambhasha, is mentioned under Adhyaya “Rogabhishakjitiya Adhyaya” of Charaka Samhita, Vimanasthana So SoCalled Vadamargas, They Are The Tricks Of Manner For An Invariable Debate Competition.
