Abstract

As per the necessity and requirement of individual one may find differences in methodologies which are followed by various streams of science, but one thing which is common to all of them is the reason to find out factors responsible for a particular action. Here the action is termed as effect and the factor responsible for it is called as cause. This ‘cause and effect’ theory is the base of the entire human endeavor in quest of knowledge. This same quest was responsible for manifestation of Ayurveda on earth. Great seers of Ayurveda had very good vision through which they observed various phenomena in nature and tried to understand the logic behind them. In Ayurveda actions or phenomena are termed as Karya whereas their responsible factors are called as Karana. The inevitable unexceptional (Nirapavada) relation between Karana and Karya was the first principle accepted in Ayurveda on which the whole epitome of Ayurveda is standing upright. Ayurveda has claimed its success on the ground of invention and evaluation of six Karana Dravyas which have been discussed in other Darshana Shastra as Shat Padarthas. Basically there is not much difference in these two terms but in practical aspect of Ayurvedic science, its importance and utility differs from Darshanas.

Keywords: Ayurveda, Karya-Karana, Darshana Shastra
