Abstract

In Ayurveda Parada murchita rasaaushadis is broadly categorised into kharliya rasayana, parapti kalpana, kupipakwa rasayana and pottali kalpana. Amongst 4 of them kupipakwa method of preparation is most potent form. Kupipakwa kalpas prepared in glass bottle with longer duration of heat. So, to prepare such kalpas there is need of such yantra that can sustain longer duration of heat without any breakage of kupi. Also, in ancient text detail description about kanchkupi nirman was insufficient. So present experimental practical research work is an effort to throw light on detail description of preparation of mud smeared kanchkupi nirman.

Keywords: Kachkupi nirman, mud smeared glass bottle, Kupipakwa rasyan, Sindur Kalpana matkappad.
