Shodhganga: Ayurveda siddhanta evam darshana

The property of Paratva-guna (or para-guna) indicates the superiority, nearness, importance, similarity or first, that is why it has been put in the context of desha, kala, mana, vaya, paka, virya, rasa, etc. In the pharmaceutical field for a pharmacist it is needed to prepare a medicine of superior qualities in the aspect of its matra, paka, Virya, rasa etc. In the aspect of causes or karanata, that which is the nearer cause and in the aspect of utility which is much important or near one is Para.

Chakrapani has defined Para as pradhana and Apara as apradhana.

Gangadhara has defined Paratva as prathama (first) in relation to others and Apara as vice versa. He has tried to explain the concept of relativity of this pair. Para word/adjective does not state that the drug or object is supreme among the class but states that in comparison to others which are inferior to it, this one is better.

Yogindranatha Sena has defined Paratva as nearness and utility wise supremacy and Aparatva as farness and lesser utility as compared to Para .
