• Ayurveda is that source of knowledge which teaches about
or deals with Ayu. How so? By its characteristics, it imparts
the knowledge of joy and suffering, benefit and harm, and
authentic/authoritative and unauthentic/unreliable
(sources of information). It is also that which informs us
about the span of life and substances with properties and
actions that result in the same. This will be dealt with in the
