Physico ChemicalTotal Ash: Not more than 60 per cent; Appendix 2.2.3 Acid-insoluble ash: Not more than 14 per cent; Appendix 2.2.4 Alcohol-soluble extractive: Not less than 8 per cent; Appendix 2.2.7 Water-soluble extractive: Not less than 45 per cent; Appendix 2.2.8 Loss on drying: Not more than 12 per cent; Appendix 2.2.10 pH (10 % aqueous solution): 3 to 4; Appendix 3.3 Assay: Not less than 0.25 per cent of aloin when assayed by the following method. Dissolve 2.5 mg of aloin in mixture of methanol: chloroform (1: 1) and make up the volume to 25 ml in another volumetric flask. Apply 2; 4; 6; 8; 10; 12 nl of solution on TLC plate and develop the plate to 8 cm using ethyl acetate: methanol: water (8: 1.35: 1) as mobile phase. After development dry the plate in a current of hot air and scan in the TLC scanner at a wavelength of 366 nm. Note the peak area and prepare the calibration curve by plotting peak area vs concentration of aloin. Extract accurately weighed about 7 g of powdered Vatas in 100 ml of alcohol in a Soxhlet apparatus for 6 h. Filter the extract while hot and dry completely and weigh. Take 25 mg of extract in volumetric flask and dissolve in a mixture of methanol: chloroform (1: 1) and make up the volume to 25 ml. Apply 7 nl of the test solutions on TLC plate. Develop; dry and scan the plate as described in the proceeding paragraph for calibration curve of aloin. Record the area under the curve for a peak corresponding to aloin in the test solution. Calculate the amount of aloin in the test solution from the calibration curve of aloin. Iron: Not less than 18.5 per cent w/w; Appendix 5.6 Aluminum: Not less than 1.5 per cent w/w; Appendix 5.2 Magnesium: Not less than 0.9 per cent w/w; Appendix 5.7 Potassium: Not less than 1.9 per cent w/w; Appendix 5.10 Silica: Not less than 9.5 per cent w/w; Appendix 5.9

Method Take all ingredients of pharmacopoeial quality.  Treat Kasasa to get Kasasa - Shuddha (Appendix 6.2.8.17).  Treat Abhraka to get Abhraka bhasma.  Clean Rasona and grind to prepare fine paste. .  Take fresh Dronapuspa and wash thoroughly with water. Grind and filter through muslin cloth to obtain svarasa.  Wash and clean fresh Kumara and separate the pulp to obtain Kumara svarasa.  Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to prepare a homogenous blend.  Add svarasa in required quantity and triturate well to prepare a bolus.  Expel the mass through vata machine to obtain cylindrical threads and cut the vatas to a desired weight.  Roll the vatas on flat surface to round them by circular motion of palm covered with a glove or use suitable mechanical device.  Dry the rounded vatas in a tray-dryer at a temperature not exceeding 600 for 10 to 12 h.  Store vatas in containers and pack them air-tight to protect from light and moisture.
