01A session

Watch it work.

1
Name two to five concepts to compare — doṣas, Āma vs Nirāma, Śodhana vs Śamana, an Ayurvedic vs biomedical view — or bring material over from another tool and let the ledger pick them.
2
The ledger chooses the dimensions examiners actually ask about, marks the high-yield rows, and names the mix-ups students actually make between the concepts.
3
Revise it in place (add a concept or a row), copy it out as Markdown or CSV, print it, or turn it into flashcards or a mnemonic.

Vāta · Pitta · Kapha

	Vāta	Pitta	Kapha
Mahābhūta	Ākāśa + Vāyu	Agni + Jala	Pṛthvī + Jala
Chief seat	Pakvāśaya	Nābhi	Uras
Key guṇa	Rūkṣa, laghu, cala	Tīkṣṇa, uṣṇa, sara	Guru, snigdha, sthira
Best śodhana	Basti	Virecana	Vamana

Common confusion: Pitta is sasneha — slightly unctuous — not rūkṣa.

02What sets it apart

The right dimensions

Definition, properties, seats, functions, clinical relevance — the rows examiners actually ask.

High-yield rows

The distinctions most likely to earn marks are highlighted, with common confusions called out.

Reads on a phone

Wide tables turn into one card per row on small screens.

Export anywhere

Copy as Markdown or CSV, or print it for your notes.

You bring

01Two to five concepts to compare, or material to find them in
02Optionally, the specific dimensions you want covered

You get

01An ordered comparison table with short, citable cells and high-yield rows starred
02A one-line key distinction and the common confusions, corrected
03Copy-ready Markdown and CSV, and a clean printable page

03The standard

“Every cell is grounded in the classical library and classical texts with a sources list; any cell that reaches beyond the corpus is flagged rather than silently filled.”

Good to know

Cells are deliberately terse — table entries, not paragraphs — so nuance is compressed by design. Flagged cells, and any contrast on which authorities differ, deserve faculty review before they go into your exam notes.

Questions about Comparisons.

How many concepts can I compare?

Two to five — enough for a full table without losing clarity.

Can I add a row later?

Yes — revise the table and it keeps what's there while adding what you ask for.
