Tantra Yukti is one of most important tool to understand shastra then why it is explained at the end of samhita(Cha Chi 12th, Sushrutha Uttar 65th, Astanga SangrahaUttar 50th)?

1. The first commentator of charaka samhita, bhatta HarishChandra who wrote Charaka Nyasa, explained TantraYukti immediately after Mangalacharana. As he said for better understanding of shastra one should be well versed in Tantra Yukti.

2. Arundatta, Commentator of Ashtangrudhaya says first one should byheart the shastra then manana, chintanaand at last Tantra Yukti should be learnt. Hence here he is supporting the fact the Tantra Yukti should be explained at the last.

Importance of Tantra Yukti:Just as the sun blows cluster of lotus and lighted lamp lights the inside of a room at their best, so does the TantraYukti and help to understand the science fully and correctly.
