Darshans are the means or instrument of knowledge. The darshans are born out of Upanishads which in turn are the parts of Veda. The main stream of Hindu Philosophy includes 6 systems and therefore called shaddarshans. The main aim of SankhyaDarshan is that how the purusha gets moksha with the help of complete knowledge of mulaprakriti and paramatma. Basic components or tatwas for evolution are identical both in Ayurveda and SankhyaDarshan. Thus, in this paper a study has been made on influence of sankhyadarshan on Ayurveda. Also sankhyadarshan give the concept of pramana, purushavivechana, parinama vada, satkaryavaad, description of triguna etc. which are well evident in our Ayurvedic classics too.
