Next step after Ashtasamskara
Practically now a day many pharmacies and Rasavaidyas are not going for Ashtasamskara, they are using Hingulotha Parada.
Is Hinguloth Parada is good replacement for Ashtasamskarit Parada?
YES
Alternative method for Ashtasamskara
1st Reason
• In Hingula – Parada is chemically bonded with Gandhaka
• This Gandhaka have some unknown effect on Parada.
• This unknown effect may be considered as Samskara.
2nd Reason
• The process mentioned for Extraction of Parada from Hingula is having some sort of similarity with Samskara procedures.
• So we can say that Hingulotha Parada is a type of Samskara for extraction of Parada from the Hingula.
Research works on Parada Samskara
Rasasastra has big
opportunity.
Many reasons for
negligence of the topic
Previous works carried
out on this subject
This field required attention in following aspects
• Modification of instruments• Modification of Some methods • Comparative studies on different methods
mentioned by different Acharyas for Samskara of Parada
• Comparative study on Hinguloth Parada and Ashtasamskarit Paradas role in rasa medicine.
LETS DO SOME WORK NOW TO CONTRIBUTE THIS CLASSICS
