Trayopstambha is an essential instrument possessed by every individual to safeguard their predetermined existence. It maintains a close connection with the three pillars of life, which sustain well -being and safeguard existence. Ayurveda places particular emphasis on adhering to the principles of Trayopstambha, Ahar Nidra and Brahmacharya, since these contribute to maintaining a life free from sickness. In the current era of advanced technology, the prevalence of many diseases is increasing among population due to pollution, excessive job pressure, unhealthy eating habits and inappropriate lifestyle choices. According to Ayurvedic texts, these pillars play crucial role in achieving a long and healthy lifespan. This article provides a concise overview of Ayurveda. According to acharya Chataka, Tridanda ( consisting of Satva, Aatma and Shareera) serves as the primary pillar, whereas according to acharya Sushruta, Tridosha ( consisting of Vata, Pitta and Kapha) serves as major pillars. Theses two pillars are further supported by subpillars known as Trayopstambha. Therefore Subpillars have been accorded equal significance to main pillars ( Tridanda and Tristoon) and are seen as one of the essential elements for maintaining good health.
