Abstract: In Ayurveda, the subject matter is told in the form of Sutras (Sanskrit verses). To make common people understand the hidden meaning of these verses our Acharyas especially the commentators have adopted application of Nyayas (Maxims) as one of the most relevant method. Chakrapani the famous commentator of Charaka Samhita has quoted various Maxims in his Ayurveda Dipika commentary. Keeping this in view, an attempt is made in the present study to trace out the various references of Nyayas mentioned in Charaka Samhita Sutra sthana.
