Prashna Tantra is not a term that appears in widely recognized academic or reference works. Consequently, there is insufficient encyclopedic information to provide a comprehensive definition or description of the concept.
Possible etymology and contextual usage
- Prashna (प्रश्न) is a Sanskrit word meaning “question” or “inquiry.”
- Tantra ( tantra) is a Sanskrit term that can denote a system, technique, or doctrinal treatise, often associated with esoteric or technical knowledge.
When combined, the phrase Prashna Tantra could plausibly be interpreted as “the system or treatise of questions,” and it may be used informally to refer to works or practices dealing with interrogative methods—such as horary astrology (prashna‑shastra) or philosophical inquiry—in the broader Indian scholarly tradition.
However, without verifiable sources confirming a specific text, school, or widely acknowledged concept bearing this exact title, the term remains unverified in reliable encyclopedic references.
