Abstract
Every research is guided by specific methods and principles as laid out in the respective research methodology. “Tantrayukti” (TY) is an essential tool for research within the context of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKSs). TY was adhered to in the IKS texts of Āyurveda and Arthaśāstra, which systematically expounded principles of sciences and humanities. Extensive research has been conducted on management concepts from Rāmāyaṇa, but these have often been considered poetic descriptions. To bridge this gap, the authors analyze a specific chapter of Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa to assess its adherence to a few Tantrayukti principles. Preliminary findings reveal the application of the rule-based Tantrayukti devices in the 100th sarga of Ayodhyākāṇḍa of Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, also referred to as “Kaccit sarga.” This substantiates the systematic documentation and structured exposition of Rāmarājya paradigms by Sage Vālmīki.
