Abstract:
Kajjali is a Sagandha, Niragni Parada yoga. The Bandha involved in this preparation is Kajjali Bandha, where purified Parada and Gandhaka are thoroughly ground in definite proportion, to get a fine black powder called Kajjali. Among Khalviya Rasayana, Kajjali is having prime importance as it forms base to many mercurial preparations. Though Ancient scholars mentioned some quality checks and end points in preparing Kajjali, it’s not sufficient in the present scenario. It is found that Kajjali was prepared in different durations i.e. 76 hours, 130 hours, 255 hours and 280 hours for previous dissertation works carried out in the same institution. Apart from Kajjali siddhi lakshana, there is a need of more sophisticated testing methods for determining the physical and chemical changes of Kajjali at different duration of trituration.
