A query on any topic within the classical texts, in accordance with Vedic tradition /manner, is called a prashna (question). The response to the prashna is known as prashnartha. Because the text protects the life of a person with its information, it is also called ‘tantra’ (tantrana means to sustain the body or to observe the healthy rules). A sthana (section) is called so because the information relevant to the theme of the section have been "placed" within that section (pratistha = sthapana= placed). Adhyayas, or chapters, from the specific topics that address a particular aspect or dimension of the section. Thus, clarifications/answers to all the eight questions (raised in para 20 of this chapter) along with a clear summary of the entire text are given. [69-71]

Some people (physicians) who have incomplete knowledge of this science, at times create difficulties for others just like the sudden flight of the bustard (a kind of bird) on seeing signs of danger. Therefore, to assess their knowledge in this scienceand their superiority or inferiority, one should put forward the eight kinds of questions (mentioned previously) to them before a formal discussion. Only persons well versed in the science can answer such questions. Those who do not know the science fully will panic by the very mention of the entire text just like bustards get frightened by the sound of a bowstring. [72-74]
