4. 1. KHARALIYA RASAYANA:
Prepared in crucible hence known as khalviya rasayana.
Ex. – Kajjali
KAJJALI:-
1. Is an example of sagandha niragni kalpana of kharaliya
kalpa.
2. Purified Parada & gandhaka are constantly triturated
under pressure at atmospheric temperature.
3. Constant & consistent pressurized triturating of kajjali
enhances pharmaco dynamic properties.
4. The process of constant trituration will pack the gandhaka
molecule in between layer of parada molecule.
therefore sustained release of active
molecules take place.
5. CONCEPT:-
Most widely and frequently used in therapeutics.
Prolong shelf life.
Enhance the therapeutic efficacy.
Decrease the duration of treatment.
Can be administered directly as per required doses.
Can be transformed into the form of pills, tablets,
capsules etc…
7. CONCEPT:
Sagandha sagni parada murchit kalpana.
Ex. - Rasaparpati
Brittle flakes of sulphuric mercurial combination, gray to
blackish in color.
Kajjali is the base material.
Agni sanskara is an important aspect of parpati kalpana
Method of preparation:
kajjali is placed an iron pan and heated on mild fire till it
get semi liquid to liquid consistency , then it is placed on
banana leaves and pressed with a flat heavy object after
covering with another banana leaf.
8. Parpati-
Is potabandha of Parada which control the
movement and fragility of Parada.
Heat-
Heat energy enhance the therapeutic efficacy &
emphasizes lightness.
Gomaya –
Comes from alimentary tract of the cow and have
enzymatic activity.
Ghee-
It has synergistic effect.
Patra (kadali or eranda)-
Increases potency of drug. Highly rich in chlorophyll
which able to neutralize negative effects of free radicals in
the body.

1.Gandhaka drava
paka
2. Putapaka
3.Bhavana vidhi
11. IMPORTANCE OF POTTALI RASAYANA
The word pottali means to minimize the shape of
drug into a more compact and potent form.
Used as emergency & life saving remedy.
Method of administration via tongue help in quick
absorption.
Unique preparation method.
Less dose with high potency.
Convenience in transportation.
Long shelf life.
13. DISCRIPTION:
This is unique & different method of preparation
of preparing bhasma.
In a specially built furnace, earthen vessel filled
with sand , a coated glass of bottle with mixture is

15. CONCLUSION:
Parada is yogvahi - thus quick in action.
Chemical bond becomes stronger in following order- KAJJALI-
PARPARI-POTTALI-KUPIPAKWA RASAYANA.
In kajjali preparation- The triturating causes friction, pressure,
motion
it help to form smallest particle of drug, so bioavailability
increases.
In parpati rasayana- Due to Agni sanskara emphasizes lightness.
In pottali rasayana- technique give compactness to the scattered
material.
In kupipakwa rasayana- Trituration, heat application (mrudu-
madhya-trivragni) helps in particle size reduction.
Making drug to reach at difficult sites in body.
Due to shodhan, maran, mardan, agni sanskar, puta the particle
size reduces as to provide better bioavailability & faster
absorption .
Can reach fast up to utter dhatu i.e. asthi, majja, sukra etc.
