Tantrayukti are the technical methods for proper understandings of text in the Sanskrit treatise.

==Background==
''Meemansa'' (name of a philosophy trend), Nyaya (name of a philosophy trend) and vyakarana ( grammar) are used for proper interpretation of Vedas. Vaidya should have knowledge of Sankhya, Jyotish Shastra and Vaisheshika etc.<ref>Dalhana, commentary on Sushruta Samhita (Sutra Sthana.4/7) available on http://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/esushruta/?mod=adhi retrieved on June 10,2019</ref> Being part of Vaidic literature, Meemansa, Nyaya and Vyakarana are most useful for proper interpretation of Ayurveda also. But Ayurveda has developed it own unique methodology for proper interpretation, termed as Tantrayukti in which certain important points from these Darshana or other sciences are already incorporated. Tantrayukti is the methodology or technique or systemic approach of studying a Tantra (science) to interpret its correct, unambiguous meaning for the precise practical application.<ref>Mhetre H.B.

Tantra here means Shastra, i.e. guiding principles of Ayurveda. Yukti is a methodology in which multiple observations are correlated, to understand appropriate meaning. Understanding Tantrayukti is very much important, for proper understanding of Ayurveda.
