Sneha Kalpana is the widely used techniques in Ayurvedic drug industry to achieve solubility of both fat-soluble and watersoluble extractives into them. The Physio-chemical analysis of both the samples of Rasnadi Ghrita are analysed to show wether, which source of pulp will show their maximum solubility in ghrita or does both the pulp of bilva will show same properties or does they differ in their chemical properties. Some parameters like both the samples of Rasnadi Ghrita are found not rancid, Loss on Drying value of both sample is 0.0%, no much difference is found in their pH values. Hence, we can conclude that, can either(ripe or unripe) pulp of bilva can be used as a substitute drug in Rasnadi Ghrita.
