This paper considers the relevance to Ayurvedic education of Mimansa, one of the six "orthodox" systems of ancient Indian philosophy, which, like Ayurveda, regard the Vedas as supremely authoritative. At the postgraduate level, Mimansa assists the study of Ayurveda because it provides a system of resolving possible conflicts between statements in the texts of the Veda, which can also be applied to Ayurveda, when its own methodology of interpretation given in Tantrayukti falls short. Indeed, certain commentaries on the Ayurvedic texts are suggestive of the Mimansa perspective. The article provides illustrations of this from the courses taught at the Institute of Research in Ayurvedic Medicine, Jnana Prabhodini, indicating some details of the courses taught, and recounting feedback from the students. These show that a course in Mimansa has a useful role to play in encouraging students' independent reading of the Ayurvedic texts and in maturing their own interpretations of sections that seem obscure.
本文探讨了印度古代哲学六大“正统”体系之一的弥曼差派与阿育吠陀教育的相关性。与阿育吠陀一样，弥曼差派也将吠陀经视为至高无上的权威。在研究生阶段，弥曼差派有助于阿育吠陀的研究，因为它提供了一个解决吠陀经文中陈述之间可能冲突的体系，当阿育吠陀自身在《坦陀罗瑜伽经》中给出的解释方法不足时，该体系也可应用于阿育吠陀。实际上，一些关于阿育吠陀文本的注释暗示了弥曼差派的观点。本文通过贾纳·普拉博迪尼阿育吠陀医学研究所所教授的课程对此进行了说明，指出了所授课程的一些细节，并讲述了学生的反馈。这些表明，一门关于弥曼差派的课程在鼓励学生独立阅读阿育吠陀文本以及使他们对那些似乎晦涩难懂的章节形成自己的解释方面能发挥有益的作用。
