Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Tila taila to prepare murcchita Tila taila (Appendix 6.2.9.4).  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 1 to 24 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 355 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 44) (kvatha dravya).  Add water for decoction to the kvatha dravya and soak for 4 h; heat and reduce the volume to one-tenth. Filter through muslin cloth to obtain kvatha.  Divide the kvatha into 10 equal parts and store separately in air-tight containers protected from light and moisture.  Wash; clean; dry the drugs under ingredient number 26 (kalka dravya) of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder. Transfer the powdered ingredients to wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogeneous blend (kalka).  Take murcchita Tila taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it.  Add increments of kalka; stir thoroughly while adding one part of kvatha.  Heat with constant stirring maintaining the temperature between 500 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop the heating when the kalka gets separated at the bottom of the vessel in the form of loose paste (mridu paka laksana) and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Allow to stand overnight.  Repeat the process for nine more times each day adding one part of kvatha. Along with the 10th part of kvatha; add Ajadugdha in last paka.  On the last day; constantly check the kalka by rolling between the fingers. Stop the heating when the kalka easily rolls into a varti without sticking (madhyama paka laksana) to the fingers and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Expose the varti and oil to flame and confirm the absence of crackling sound indicating absence of moisture.  Filter while hot (about 800) through a muslin cloth and allow to cool.  Store it in glass containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.
