<ul style='text-align:justify;'><li style="font-weight: bold;">Anubandha chatushtya (four connecting factors of a literary text) <br/><span style="font-weight: normal;">This concept, initially put forth by Vedant philosophy, can be understood as a means to decipher different aspects of science.<ref name="ref9">RāDhāKāNtadeva, Vasu, v., & Vasu, h. (1886).Śabdakalpadrumah,Available from https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/cslapidev/servepdf.php?dict=skd& page=1-050 </ref> This includes four aspects namely:
# Abhidheya (main topic of interest)
# Prayojana (purpose or end result)
# Sambandha (interconnectivity between concepts)and
# Adhikari (having capacity to study or learner)
Chakrapani has briefly mentioned this concept in the commentary on the first verse of Charaka Samhita. (Chakrapani on Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana.1/1). <br/>The abhidheya can be explained as the main topic of discussion, for example, in hita or ahita ayu. (beneficial or non-beneficial life)
<br/>
Prayojana is main goal or aim the science is directed towards for instance dhatusamya while sambandha is the connection between the terms. Adhikari refers to man or individual proficient in the shastra, physician or vaidya. He further states that abhidheya and prayojana are essential for the pravritti or implementation of shastra. Unless one is aware about the ultimate goal of understanding shastra one cannot implement the principles of shastra. </span></li>
