contents <p><span lang="EN-IN">Ayurveda is recognized as a scientific discipline that relies upon four <em>Pramāṇas</em>: <em>Aptopadesa, Pratyakṣa, Anumana</em>, and Yukti. Among these, <em>Aptopadesa</em> serves as the primary source of knowledge acquisition; <em>Pratyakṣa</em> represents direct perception; <em>Anumana</em> provides inferential understanding; and <em>Yukti</em> emphasizes rational and logical interpretation. These <em>Pramaṇas</em> collectively hold a vital position in Ayurvedic research methodology, as they guide the entire research process—ranging from the selection of a problem and formulation of a hypothesis to data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of results. With the increasing exploration of Ayurvedic specialties, researchers are required to maintain equilibrium between classical principles and modern scientific tools. Within this framework, <em>Siddhanta</em>, described under the forty-four <em>Vadamargas</em>, is considered a significant instrument for theory formulation. It is categorized into four types: <em>Abhyupagama Siddhanta</em>, <em>Sarva</em> <em>Tantra Siddhanta, Pratitantra Siddhanta</em>, and <em>Adhikaran Siddhanta</em>. For any research undertaking, systematic planning and preparation are indispensable. Research itself may be defined as the pursuit of new knowledge, while research methodology represents the structured approach employed to identify, process, and analyse a given problem. In Ayurveda, valid knowledge is referred to as <em>Parma</em>, and the means by which it is acquired are termed <em>Pramaṇa</em>, both of which constitute the foundation of Ayurvedic research methodology.</span></p>
