There are, however, limitations to these tools because all the three examinations should be applied, though sequentially (described later in the chapter), since one cannot rely completely on any one of these examinations. A wise physician should use all the three tools together for a thorough assessment of the disease and then reach the final diagnosis. A physician who understands and exercises such practice does not commit any mistake in the treatment of the patients. <ref> Agnivesha, Charaka, Dridhabala, Charaka Samhita Vimanasthana Adhyaya 4/11, Edited by Jadavaji Trikamji, Fifth Edition, Chaukhambha Sanskrit Sansthana, Varanasi, 2001, 249. </ref>

It is also interesting to know that at both the places ([[Sutra Sthana]] 11th and [[Vimana Sthana]] 4th ) these three methods of examination have been defined (with little difference). On the basis of critical analysis of the subject, it could be opined that the description of three examination methods in [[Vimana Sthana]] is much more scientific and applicable in clinical methods while the description of [[Sutra Sthana]] 11th is applicable in other fields.
