In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Yukti (युक्ति, “rationale”).—One of the ten Parādiguṇa, or, ‘10 pharmaceutical properties’.—It is a Sanskrit technical term from Āyurveda (Indian medicine) and used in literature such the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā. According to Caraka, these ten properties (guṇa) are the means to success in therapeutic treatment. Yukti means chosing the best medicine based on logical thinking and planning.
Yukti means skill, expertise or proficiency. The practical application of yukti guna implies planning and doing something according to one’s ability and area of expertise. This guna is uniformly present in each and every individual but its exploitation depends on person to person. The soul of this guna lies in the fact that planning is dome either to solve a problem or to evolve and initiate something. It is considered that planning done in accordance with intelligence is always successful in implementation. Yukti samanya guna can be used in a negative or positive way also.
Yukti-guna is a property which is being applied either by the physician or by the pharmacist to get success in the treatment and formulations. Yukti is the base for understanding need or requirement on basis of desha, kala, vaya and avastha (stage) not only for the present time, but also in past as well as future.
Yukti is the knowledge to use or apply all the types of the definite and indefinite gunas. It is the solitary property by which all other gunas can be applied in different ways. Without Yukti the validation of other gunas and karmas may not be possible. This property is also helpful in getting certainty of result in the context of pariksha.
Chakrapani has commented on it as Yukti is apt usage of medicine/ bheshaja on the basis of dosha, dushyadi factors. The dosage which is pertinent for a specific condition will be called as Yukta in that condition. One which does not suit will be called as Ayukta.
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to the “rationale” process of translational research in the context of Āyurveda.—Translational research involves the application of knowledge gained through basic research to studies that could support the development of new products. [...] The process of this translation is also explained through a three step process in the tradition—śruti (science), yukti (rationale) and anubhava (experience). The way to discover applications that will enhance the quality of human life is to derive yukti from the Śruti or Śāstra. When yukti is obtained by churning the śāstra, then applications that enhance the quality of the human experience can be discovered. Āyurveda is reinvented continuously through this process of translation according to the need of the place and time. This can be called as the creation of the yugānurūpasandarbha or the context for the contemporary application of śāstra. Thus, Āyurveda represents endless opportunities for translational research.
Yukti is an insight from śāstra that reveals the interplay of variables that can be controlled or manipulated to bring about a desired effect or result. Thus, we can say that the first step in the process of translational research in Āyurveda is the harvesting of a sound yukti from the śāstra. The next step is to translate the yukti into practical applications that can enhance quality of human life. It is at this point that we need to bridge Āyurveda with modern science. Modern scientific techniques can serve as powerful tools to develop applications that can change and transform human life.
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “situational applications” and is used to look for evidence in Ayurvedic products.—[...] It is to be recognized that Ayurvedic ingredients and products are multi-component and known to work on multiple organs/targets in the body concurrently. Innovations in clinical research and clinical trials are required to test efficacy of Ayurvedic products. [...] An eminent medical pharmacologist who later researched into Ayurveda and its products, Dr. Ashok D B Vaidya, in a lecture, cites different modes of evidence namely [... viz., situational applications (yukti), ...].
1) Yukti (युक्ति):—Includes 1. property of physician and pharmasist to formulate the medicine 2. tool of examination
2) Logical plan / tactics; pertains to the logic and plan of therapeutic action.
3) Wisdom / skill
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.

Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “(the right application of) reason”, according tot the Mataṅgapārameśvara (Caryāpāda) verse 9.5-14, 16-21ab, in the section on expiation (prāyaścitta).—Accordingly, “[...] Wearing (just) a single piece of cloth or naked, having conquered anger and helpful (to others), the wise man fills the earth at all times with (his) discernment and having done so lives there quietly. Then placing ash thereon and generating (in himself) by (the right application of) reason (yukti) a true aversion for the world, with an ever-pure heart and full attention he contemplates (Sadāśiva).”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “arguments”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the seven Sages said (with false words) to Pārvatī: “[...] The trident-bearing Śiva has an inauspicious body, is free from shame and has no home or pedigree. He is naked and ill-featured. He associates with ghosts and goblins and the like. That rogue of a sage has destroyed your discretion with his deception. He has deluded you with apparently good arguments [i.e., sad-yukti] and made you perform this penance. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to a “logical (justification)”, according to Utpaladeva’s Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikāvṛtti (on the Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā verse 4.16).—Accordingly, “This new, direct path was foretold in the treatise entitled the Śivadṛṣṭi by the venerable Somānanda, whose very appearance is that of the great lord Parameśvara in front of one’s eyes; I have made it [i.e., this path] enter the heart(s) (of men) by furnishing a logical justification (yukti-nibandhana) for it. By pursuing this [path] one becomes liberated in this very life, this as a result of being (fully) penetrated by Śiva-nature”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Yukti (युक्ति) is another name for Saṃklita (“addition”) which represents one of the twenty operations (logistics) of pāṭīgaṇita (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board”), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra) and astronomy from the 7th century.—The Hindu name for addition is saṃkalita (‘made together’). Other equivalent terms commonly used are [e.g., yukti] [...]. The word saṃkalita has been used by some writers in the general sense of the sum of a series.
Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
Shyanika-shastra (the science of Hawking and Hunting)
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “diplomacy”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the importance of hawks]: “To restore peace to a conquered country, to deliberate on conquering others, to bring the wicked under subjugation by diplomacy (yukti) [duṣṭānāṃ karṣaṇaṃ yuktyā], to protect the loyal, to encourage those who have done great deeds by fulfilling their aspirations, [...] and such other qualities, which have been highly spoken of in politics [are considered also essential in the art of hawking]”.
Shyanika-shastra (श्यैनिकशास्त्र, śyainikaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian skill of hawking/falconry (one of the ways of hunting) which were laid down in a systematic manner in various Sanskrit treatises. It also explains the philosophy behind how the pleasures derived from sense-experience could lead the way to liberation.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Yukti (युक्ति) refers to “application”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as Gaganagañja said to Ratnapāṇi: “Son of good family, the thirty-two dharmas are included in sixty-four dharmas. What are those sixty-four? [...] (21) saying thus is included in doing good actions and no distress; (22) acting as you said is included in truth and saying correctly; (23) correct application is included in being in accordance with dependent origination and avoiding eternity or discontinuity; (24) correct exertion is included in application (yukti) and the proper way; [...]’”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

Yukti (युक्ति) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Jutti.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
