understanding the rules and regulations of learning and teaching is explained.Eventually Tadvidha sambhasha can be visualized as
Higher educational skill development, where post Reading,learning and understanding one should prepare himself to face the
Discussions like Conferences,Debate,Seminar,Skull session and meeting where exchange of the knowledge takes places.

1) Drushtavya, shrotavya = Adhyayana
2) Manthavya = Adhyaapana
3) Nidhidhyaasana = Tadvidha Sambhasha

CONCLUSSION
 To have a treasure called knowledge one has to dive deeper into the sea called Education.The process of learning i.e.,
Trividha jyanopayas are just hidden like the pearls in the shell which be obtained only after a definite manner of
collection.
 The study and critical analysis of charakokta Jyanopaya suggests: Adhyayana can be concluded as employment of
primary education and its allied skills,in one’s primary academic hearing course through hearing and reading.
 Adhyapana can be concluded as deployment of teaching or expression of learnt subject after proper and appropriate
Adhyayana that to after churring into the subject.
 Tadvidha sambhasha can be concluded as upgrading of existing knowledge,by improving debetic activities through
attaing Parishads.
 Thus Charakokta Trividha Jyanopayas can be claimed with the conclusion,as a Guide and tutorial-Encyclopedia for
learning methodology for all the times.
