Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Assertion A: Gheranda Samhita and Three Fingers

Assertion A states that Gheranda has instructed the application of three fingers for Jihvamuldhauti. This statement is considered true based on the traditional understanding and application of the technique described in the Gheranda Samhita.

Reason R: Specific Fingers in Gheranda Samhita

Reason R specifies that the use of the index, middle, and ring fingers in Jihvamuldhauti is described in the Gheranda Samhita. This corresponds to the detailed interpretation of the practice, where these three fingers are typically employed to effectively clean the tongue.

Connecting Assertion and Reason

Both Assertion A and Reason R are factually correct regarding the practice of Jihvamuldhauti as instructed in the Gheranda Samhita. Reason R provides the specific details (the index, middle, and ring fingers) that explain and support the general instruction mentioned in Assertion A (the use of three fingers). Therefore, Reason R is the correct explanation of Assertion A.
