In Ayurveda, Pramana are called as Pariksha, meaning scientific investigation. Pramana sharir can be considered as one of the systematic tools of research. According to Charakacharya, things are either existent or non-existent, & they can be studied by four Pramana; i.e Aptopadesha (Authoritative statement) Pratyaksha (Direct Perception). Anumana (Inference), Yukti (Rationale – logical reasoning) Aptopadesha, Pratyaksha, Anumana & Yukti Pramana are very much useful at all steps of research such as planning, operation & reporting. Pramana sharir states that, Ayurveda accepts the scientific method in search of truth (based on logical reasoning). The concept of Maana-Pramana is one of the important contributions of Ayurveda which implies that Height (Aayama) of human being is 84 fingers (Anguli) and is equal to Arm Span (Vistaara). Usually, it was established that measurement of Anguli Pramana at the site of medio-lateral proximal interphalangeal joint of middle finger of right and left hand, would be most accurate in estimating Anguli Pramana.
