Kalyanaka Ghrita1 is a commonly prescribed formulation in cases of diseases of psychiatric origin like Unmada,Apasmara etc.The reference of Kalyanaka Ghrita is available in Brihattrayees,Sharangadhara Samhita,Chakradatta,Sahasrayoga,Kashyapa Samhita etc.The reference of Ksheerakalyanaka2 is mentioned along with the reference of Kalyanaka Ghrita in Chakradatta and also in Sahasrayoga.The reference mentioned in Charaka Samhita for Kalyanaka Ghrita and in Chakradatta for Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita is taken for current study.The only difference observed in the references of both the formulations is the addition of two parts of Jala and four parts of Ksheera as Drava Dravya in case of Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita.In case of Kalyanaka Ghrita only Jala is taken as Drava dravya.It is aimed to throw light on the pharmaceutical preparation of Kalyanaka Ghrita and Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita in order to understand the aspects related to preparation of medicated Ghrita when Dugdha is mentioned as a Drava dravya.
Kalyanaka Ghrita, Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita, Ksheera, Drava Dravya.
