This work is meant for busy practitioners and those who are
preparing for competitive examinations. This work is based on
Synthesis and Complete repertory
This is an attempt to lessen the difficulties of the students &
especially busy practitioners who my wish to make themselves
familiar with the mind rubrics.. The mental rubrics are difficult to
understand by dictionary meanings alone. We should understand the
correct means assigned to a particular rubric.

have tried with best of my efforts, knowledge and hard work to make

it may be, so that this work can be improved upon.
