Abstract

Rasaaushadhi are the backbone of Ayurveda therapeutics. Bhasma Kalpana comprises of conversion of metals and minerals into suitable form. In Rasashastra, Rajavarta (lapis lazuli) is one among Uparatna (semi-precious stone) and used as a Bhasma in Prameha (polyuria), Kshaya (emaciation), Pandu (pallor) and many more. However besides its therapeutic uses, it remains unexplored by scholars of Rasashastra. In present era, two types of Rajavarta are available in market based on its source i.e. Afghan and Russian. No work has been done to standardize Rajavarta Bhasma prepared from both varieties. Aim: To establish standard manufacturing procedure (SMP) of Rajavarta Bhasma prepared from two different varieties. Materials and Methods: Three batches of Afghan and Russian Rajavarta Bhasma were prepared by Shodhana (purification) of both varieties of Rajavarta followed by Marana (calcination) as per the reference of Rasatarangini to develop standard parameters. Result: An average required Shuddha Gandhaka was 913 g and 897.6 g and Nimbu Swarasa was 3341.6 ml and 3352.6 ml for levigation in each batch of Afghan and Russian variety respectively. The temperature pattern was recorded at regular interval of 15 minutes for 8.30 hours, an average peak temperature was observed 949.8 0C – 963.7 0C in Afghan and Russian variety, an average yield was found 76.67 % and 76.34 % respectively. Conclusion: The preparation of Rajavarta Bhasma in accordance with the procedure described in the classical literature has been ensured and standardized by present study.
