Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Eranda taila to prepare murcchita Eranda taila (Appendix 6.2.9.1).  A day prior to the sneha paka; iniate to prepare Mastu (Appendix 6.2.5).  Wash; clean; dry the ingredient number 19 of the Formulation Composition; powder 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-fourth. Filter through muslin cloth to obtain kvatha.  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 2 to 9 and 12 to 17 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve. Roast coarsely powdered Saindhava Lavana; Sauvarcala Lavana and Vida Lavana in a stainless steel pan on low flame till free from moisture; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) (kalka dravya).  Transfer the kalka dravya to the wet grinder and grind with sufficient quantity of water to prepare homogeneous blend (kalka).  Take murcchita Eranda Taila in a stainless steel vessel and heat it.  Add increments of kalka; stir thoroughly while adding kvatha.  Heat for 3 h with constant stirring; maintaining the temperature between 500 and 900 during the first hour of heating. Stop heating and allow to stand overnight.  Next day; add Mastu and Kanjika and continue the process of heating intermittently over a period of five days. 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.
