Method

 Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Tila taila to prepare murcchita Tila taila (Appendix 6.2.9.4).  Treat Citraka to prepare Citraka - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.11); Karavara to prepare Karavara - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.10); and Langala to prepare Langala - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.12); powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder.  Wash; clean; dry the ingredients numbered 3 to 5; 8; 10 and 12 of the Formulation Composition; powder separately and pass through 180 nm I. S. sieve (sieve number 85) to obtain fine powder.  Roast Svarjaksara in a stainless steel pan on low flame till free from moisture.  Transfer all the 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 water.  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.  Continue the process of heating intermittently over a period of three days. Constantly check the kalka by rolling between the fingers.  Stop the heating when the kalka breaks down into pieces on attempting to form a varti (khara paka laksana) and at the appearance of froth (phenodgama) over the oil. Expose the kalka 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.
