Reviewed by Vd.Himanshu Jha ·
Padartha Vijnana is where BAMS students first meet the philosophical base of Ayurveda: padartha, dravya, guna, karma, pramana and the darshanas. This edition by Dr. Shihabudheen Gurukkal C H, published by Chaukhambha Orientalia, is presented as up to date with the latest NCISM syllabus for first-year BAMS.
Its strength is focus. It is written for the exam syllabus rather than as a broad philosophical reference, which suits students who want to cover the course efficiently. At an MRP of ₹385 it is also one of the more affordable NCISM-edition texts.
Before buying, check which language edition you are getting, and pair it with your college’s recommended classical references for shloka-based questions.
Key takeaways
- Written for the NCISM 1st Prof Padartha Vijnana syllabus
- One of the lowest-priced NCISM-edition options (MRP ₹385)
- A good starting point before moving to larger reference texts
