[16. Siddhanta (theory/doctrine)] Siddhanta is the conclusion established by scientists/investigators after testing in several ways and on proving it with reasoning. It is of four types – sarvatantra siddhanta, pratitantra siddhanta, adhikaraṇa siddhanta, and abhyupagama siddhanta. 1. Sarvatantra siddhanta is that which is accepted universally by all the treatises such as – there are causes, there are diseases and there are remedies for the curable disorders. 2. Pratitantra siddhanta is that which is not universal in nature and is held by only one of the treatises such as – in other treatises there are eight rasas but here are six; here are the five sense organs while in other texts there are six sense organs; per other texts all diseases are caused by vata, etc. , but in this text they are considered to be caused by vata and other dosha as well as bhuta. 3. Adhikarana siddhanta is that which is established by implication of other proofs. Such as – the emancipated cannot show any good or bad consequent effect of deeds because of absence of desires. This proves the effects of deeds, emancipation, presence of self and the other world. 4. Abhyupagama siddhanta is that which is held up by physicians temporarily and hypothetically during debate though the idea is unproved, untested, uninstructed and irrational such as – proposing that dravya is predominant or guna or properties are predominant or veerya is predominant. These are four types of doctrines.
