ABSTRACT

Samskara is the process in which inherent properties of substance are transformed. Sneha Kalpana is one of the important dosage form among the secondary preparations which is prepared by niragni and sagni paka methods. Aditya paka is also known as bhanupaka or surya paka. It is a method of preparation where taila is subjected to heat by exposure to sunlight for a specific time period. This method is practiced to prepare taila paka from the drugs which are having volatile property and are heat sensitive in nature. Vranarakshasa taila is an oil based herbo-mineral formulation which has been explained as aditya paka taila which is indicated in vrana, where the source of heat used is sunlight. Thus the preparation requires more time for paka and summer season is preferred, there arises the disadvantages of contamination due to exposure to open atmosphere. To overcome this, here the source of heat was changed to agni paka method. The oil was prepared by both niragni and sagni paka and comparison was done and differences were studied. Keywords: Sneha, adityapaka, Vranarakshasa taila, niragni
