FOREWORD
Though several important works on Ayurveda have been published till now, there is a large number of works which are still in the manuscript stage in libraries and could not see the light. The name of some of these works we know by coming across them in commentaries and compilations. The reason is mostly economic because the texts which are included in the prospectus are studied in institutions and get priority in publication while others lag behind. The result is that to-day teachers and students are not acquainted with even the names of such texts what of going through them.

Torjariinanda is a \vork named on Raja T o<;iaramal la, a minister of Mughal Elnperor Akbar (16th .Cent. A.D.). This is an encyclopaedic work having Ayurveda Saukhya as a compOl1ent. Ayurveda Sauklzya too is a voluminous work dealing with several aspects of Ayurveda. The present volume deals with the portion of Materia Medica which is generally known as NighalJ.!u.
In 1972, when I was editing the Mlidhava Dravyagu1)a, I had the opportunity to see a manuscript of the Ayurveda Saukhya. I was surprised to find that it followed Madhava's DravyaguJ;la faithfully in the context of Nighantu portion though the author did not mention the name of M ad/lava or its work anywhere. It is also to be noted that though In other portions, source books are quoted explicItly, in Nighatnu portion it is conspicuously absent. Hence, it cannot be said definitely what was tIle source of this portion. It is almost certaIn that Madhava's Dravyagu};,1a was quite earlier than the Ayurveda Saukh)a because of its having been qtloted by medieval authors and commentators lIke Sarvananda (12th Cent. A.D.) and Vopadeva (13th Cent. A.D.). As regards Bhava Misra, he happened to be in 16th Cent. A.D. and thus

Materill Medica

may be contemporary to the work j[yurveda Saukhya. The Verses of the Bhava Prakasa found in the Ayurveda Sauklzya lead us to think that either these verses are later interpolations (particularly if they are not found in majority of the MSS.) or Bhava Misra himself might be associated with this work. A number of expert scholars of Banaras were engaged by Raja TOQaramalla for this encyclopaedIc work, and it is not improbable if Bhava Misra, a resident of Magadha (Gaya) adjol11ing Kashi and a renowned expert of Dravya gU1JQ himselfparticipated in this great task. It is to be noted that Bhava Misra, apart from the Bhiiva Prakasa Nigha1Jttl, also composed another Nigha(ltu entitled GU~la ratna mala. Without close association, it becomes difficult to explain such situations. The possibility of a common source of both the authors, as proposed by tIle .editor, is also not improbable. Vaidya Bhagwal1 Dash, the editor of this work, is wellknown for his devotion to enriching the literature of Ayurveda and also to making it intelligible to the outer world. He has done this job with great labour and deserves congratlllations not only of myself but of the entire circle of intellectuals interested in the study of Ayurveda. I hope, he will be able to bring out other remaining volumes so as to present a total picture of the work.

PREFACE
There has been an increasing interest in the utilisation of the traditional systems of medicine for promotive, preventive and ~urative health services in many countries of the world. Ayurveda is perhaps the oldest traditional system of medicine in India catering at present to the medical needs of a, large section of both the urban and rural populatIon of this country. This system of medicine has also caught tIle attention of medical practioners in the West. The Materia Medica of ayurveda represents a rich storehouse of knowledge of drugs based on centuries of experience. Scientists, research workers, physicians and students interested in ayurveda, often experience great difficulty in obtaining authentic works on the subject with a translation in a language generally understood by them. To cater 10 this long felt need, vve are happy to present here the Materia 1v1cdica of Ayurveda by Raja Togaramalla with its English translation along \\lith critical notes.
TOQaramalla hailed from Oudh in Uttar Pradesh, India. He was the dewan (Minister) under the great Moghul Emperor Akbar who ruled during the sixteenth century A.D. The -emperor was well known for his secular outlook. TogaramalIa, in spite of his unquestioned loyalty to thIs Muslim emperor, was .a staunch follower of Hinduism. It was apparent to him that Hindu culture in India was in a decadent state and at a low .ebb. Qu.ite apart from religion, even sciences like astrology and medicIne had fallen Into disrepute. Very little orIginal work., if any, "vas being dOlle in these areas of knowledge and even -the extant texts on various subjects were falling into disuse. StIch of them as were available had been mutilated and subjected to unauthorised interpolations with the accretion of superstitious ideas through the centuries.

In his mission to revive and revitalise Hindu culture both in the religious and secular fields, he took the help of several eminent SanskrIt scholars of Varanasi and composed encyclo-

Materia Medica

paedic works on 23 different subjects by collecting n1uterial from authentic texts which were then available. To this, theadded knowledge and experiences of the experts in the subject were incorporated. Most of the original texts which \vere then utilised for the compoSItion of these "varks are no more extant and those which have survived the vicissitudes of time are Il0W in a mutilated form wi tIl several unauthorised and erratiC" interpolations. It is in this context, therefore, that today ToQ:armalla's \vork has gained considerable importance, and it is for the first tinle that the Materia Medica portion of his. encyclopaedic work on ayurveda is being brought ullder print.. The series of \vorks 011 23 topics of Hindu culture composed under the auspices of Raja TOQaramalla is called Torjarananda which means 'Cthe debght of Toqaramalla". l'"'he term saukhyan*z meaning "hapPIness" is suffixed to tIle l1ame of each text on a particular topic. Thus tIle text on aYllrveda is called Ayurveda Saukh.yarh. This Ayurveda Sa ukhyanz con1prises several chapters eacll one of \vhich is called harsa n1eaning "pleasure" . In the beginning of each har~a, maligallicara~1a or the auspicious invocation in the fOfITI of a prayer to God is furnished. The colophons at the end of each chapter indicate the contents and chapter number, among others. These invocations and colophons are missing in some n1anuscrlpts. Calligraphic errors have not left this monumental work untouched. Six different manuscripts collected florn variolls libraries of India and Nepal were utIlised for the collatIon and editing of tbis work. Some of tllese malluscripts are Incomplete. But ill others which ..appeared at first to be complete, some chapter numbers have been arranged and named differently. Sonle chapters have aiso been omitted in sarrie of these manu~ cripts. Therefore, while editing, it was felt desirable to serialise and renumber all these cl1apters making up a total of 97. rfhis was a delicate job to perform because at the end of the cllapters,. in some manuscripts, the colophons are mIssing. For the preparation of this work on Materia Medica, ten chapters of Ayurveda Saukhyarh have been utilised. On the basis of the remaJning chapters, it is contemplated to prepare separate.

volumes on different topics shortly and these texts will be in the hands of scholars gradually and in stages.

Ayurveda Sauklzyam deals with various topics of ayurveda including fundamental principles, anatomy, physiology, hygiene and public health, examination of patiel1ts, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases, iatro.. chemistry and materia medica. MaterIa Medica and allied topics are found scattered in ten differel1t chapters of this work. The eightll chapter deals with the properties of drugs. This chapter is available In five out of the six tnanuscripts consulted. In one nlanuscript, however, thIS chapter IS left incomplete.
ThIS eighth chapter ilzter alia deals with some extraneous topics lIke vamana (emetic therapy) and virecana (purgation therapy). These topics, along with other allied topics, like snehana (oleation therapy), svedana (fomentatiol1 therapy), niruha and anuvasana (n1edIcated enema), nasya (lnhalation therapy) and rakta mOk$Q{1a (blood letting) are descrIbed in detail in the 85th to 88th chapters of the edited text. It is proposed to bring out a separate volllme on tl1ese topiCS, whic114f:a!<en together, are called paiicakarJna therapy - These extraneous topics, therefore, are excluded from thIS work. This 8th chapter of the original text is divided illtO 29 chapters In the present work-one chapter dealing exclusively witll one group of items.
The 12th chapter of the orIgInal text deals \vith the description of various groups of drugs collected froin classics like Susruta Sarhhita. This chapter is, therefore, included in the 30th chapter of the present work. ThIs chapter is available in three manllscripts.

The last eight chapters of tIle original text deal with mostly the nzglzQ1){us or synonyms of drugs and the method of preparation of some food items. Details of these chapters are given overleaf :

There are of course, separate texts on the synonyms of drugs of ayurveda. But Inost of the extant ayurvedlc works on materia medIca invariably provide synonyms of drugs along with their properties. It is keeping in view tl1is tradition of ayurveda, and also in order to make the present work more useful to research workers, physicians and students that these .eIght chapters have been included here.. All the manuscripts procured for the editing of this work were full of grammatical and syntactical errors. Some of these mistakes \vere common to all the manuscripts. Even the arrangement of tOPICS in these manuscripts varied considerably. Many terms and suffixes used in this work do not stand correct accor~ing to the tradItion of Paninl's grammar. The readers "vIII find sonle such terms even in the present publication. It is likely that these mistalces were there in the original texts from where references were collected and the scholars who did the job .did not think it proper to make any change. The other possibility is that these errors were introduced by subsequent calligraphers. There are some orthographical peculiarities in all the manuscripts of this work. In several places IJa has been used in the places of na, sa in the place of sa and ~a, ba in place of va, kha in the place of $a, ja in the place of ya, ra in tIle place of la,

jpre~ace

xlii In several places the

gha in the place of dha and vice versa. consonants after ra are duplicated.

While editing this work, the variant readings (which include some grammatical errors also) are given at the end of each chapter under Notes and References and the orIginal manuscripts are referred to as iidarsa pustikii. Some topics given in this work are also available in other extant ayurvedic works. The variant readings in these texts are gIven at the end and these extant texts are referred to as likala. Some portions of the manuscripts were so corrupt and incomplete that we did not think it proper to include them in the main text. In view of their significance from the materia medIca point of view, they are given in the "Notes and References~' at the end of the chapters. In the manuscripts some texts are originally referred to by name from where the information was collected by the scholars_ The readings in these texts bear a striking resemblance to those of M adhava dravyagurza and Bhtiva prakasa. The former has been edited by Prof. P.V. Sharma and published by Cha\vkhamba Vidya Bhawan, Varanasi In 1973. References to these works are ~OllSpicuous by their absence in the original manuscripts. However, to facilitate research and study on this subject, these references are provided in the present work in square brackets [ ]. Since the names of these texts are not described in the original manuscripts, it is very difficult to determine as to who borrowed from whom. It is also very likely that both have borrowed their texts from a third source which has since become extinct.
While providing the English translation of the text, we have been very conscious of avoiding mistranslation. Where equivalent English words are not available, in the English text, the SanskrIt words have been translIterated as such and printed in Italics. The glossary appended to this work provides a brIef explanation of such terms. The nearest English equivalents 01 many such technical terms are given in parentheses in the EnglIsh text Itself. The botanical names of most of the medicinal plants are gIven In parentheses against the SanskrIt names of drugs in the

Alateria 1kfedica

side-headings. Similarly, the English equivalents of animals=, metals, minerals, etc., are provided. Wherever there is any controversy regarding the correct indentification of a drug, the botanical or English names have not been provided, lest the reader should be misguided. One manuscript of this work was procured from a private individual of Varanasi. Some scholars had attempted a Hindi translation of this work. From the language and the paper, it appears that this attempt was not of recent origin. In some places, this Hindi translation has been consulted to decide upon the exact reading of the text. Acknowledgements Authors are exceedingly grateful to Pandit Slliv Sharma" President of the Central CouncIl of Indian Medicine for supplying two manuscripts of this work from the collections of his illustrious father Vaidya Rama Prasad Sharma~ who was the Raja Vaidya (PhysicIan to the rUler) of Patiala. Greateful thanks are also due to the curators of the Abhilekhalaya, Kathmandu, the Royal Asiatic Society al1d Sanskrit College both at Calcutta for providing calligraphic/photostat copies of the manuscripts of this work available with them. For the preparation of this work, Subhash Gupta, Kanchan Gupta and Sharada Gupta have provided considerable assistance. The authors are extremely tllankful to them. A publication of this kind may not be a commercially viable proposition. It must, therefore be said to the credit of the publlsIlers that they have brougllt it out in a spirit of dedication solely '\vith the aIm of propagatIng this unique science of nledicine In the service of tIle suffering humanity_

INTRODUCTION

The history of the materia medica of ayurveda is -as old .as the Vedas. The "IJ.k VedL? (prior to 4500 B.C.), which is the oldest repository of human knowledge, has described about 67 plants. Other Vedas, namely, Saman, Yajus and Atharvan are also replete with references to various aspects of ayurveda, including the description of drugs and their therapeutic effects. MedIcinal plants are also described In the saihhitti, upani$at and puralJa texts. Ayurveda is an upaveda or sUbsidiary text of the Atharva veda and it has the following specialised branches;
(1) (2) (3) Kiiya cil<.itsa or Internal medicine; Salya tantra or Surgery ; Saliikya tantra or the treatment of diseases of head and neck; Agada tantra Toxicology; Bltftta vid)'li or the management of seizures by evil spirits and other mental disorders ; Blila tantra or Paediatrics; Rasiiyalta tantra or Geriatrics including Rejuvenation therapy ; and Vtijikara1)a tantra or Science of Aphrodisiacs.

Classics were composed on each of these specialised branches. In some classIcs, all these branches of ayurveda were put together. Prior to the seventh century B.C., many ayurvedic classics were composed. The important ones~ an10ng them, are Caraka san~lhitli.. Sztsruta sainhitii, Bhela san'1.hitii, Klisyapa samhita and Hiirfta sarhhita. Most of these texts are not available in their original form now. Caraka sal1'1hita, which was originally composed by Agnivesa and was called Agnivesa samhita, was subsequently redacted by Caraka. Even this redacted version is not available in its entirety now. Out of 120 chapters,

xxxii

~fateria ~fedical

about 41 chapters were missing and were subsequently added by a fourth century scholar named Drdhabala. Susrutasan'1hitii was also redacted by Nagarjuna.. The remaining tl1ree texts are not available in their complete form. Htirita sarnJiitii, which is available now, appears to be different from the original one. Subsequently, two texts of Vagbhata, namely, As{liliga lzrdaya and A$ttifzga sarhgraha were added to this series of classics and both these works are available In their complete~ form.. In all these important ayurvedic classics, separate chapters are provided for the descrIptIon of drugs and their therapeutic properties. The fundamental principles dealing wIth the concept of drug composition and drug actio11 are also described in these texts. Drav.,va gUlJa or materia medica, as a separate text, came into eXIstence much later. The advent of Buddhism in India brought consIderable change in the practice of ayurveda. Surgery, the performance of \vhich is invaliably associated with pain, was treated as a forIn of hinlsii or violence, and therefore, its practice was banned. To compensate this loss, and to alleviate the sufferil1gs of ailIng humanIty, more drugs were added during this period to ayurvedic materia medica. Prior to this period, metals and minerals were no doubt used for therapeutIc purposes. But their use was in a crude form and they were sparingly used. BuddhIst scl101ars added considerably to the metals and minerals In ayurvedlC materIa medica, inasmuch as Rasa sastra or Iatro-chemistry, formed a specIalised branch and many authentic texts were composed on thIS subject. Thus) the loss by discarding tIle practJce of surgery was well compensated by the addition of latra-chemistry to the materIa medica of ayurveda during this period. Some of the Buddhist rulers, lIke Asoka, established several l1erb-gardens, so that people could get drugs conveniently for the treatment of their diseases. Buddhist monks were encouraged to learn ayurveda and practise it, which was considered to be the most convenIent and popular method of sprea.. . ding the teachings of their Preceptor. Thus, through Buddhism, ayurveda spread -to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Tibet, Mongolia, the

Buriyat Republic of Soviet Russia, China, Korea, Japan andl.

Introduction

xxxiii

other South-East Asian countries. Ayurvedic texts, including texts on materia medica, were translated into the languages of these countries and these are still available in translated form even though some of their originals have become extinct in the country of their origin. Based upon the fundamental principles of ayurveda, some local herbs, diet and drInks were included in the traditional medicine of the respective countries. The materia medica of ayurveda was thus enriched. India was severally invaded by outsiders like the Greeks" the Saks and the HOODS.. When these people came into contact with the rich tradition of India, especially the medical science, they carried back with them medicines and doctors. Indian doctors who went with them, translated ayurvedic texts into their languages. The new drugs which were specially used in those places were incorporated into the ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Such repeated exchanges of scholars enriched ayurveda and its materia medica. Through commercial channels ayurvedic drugs and spices were exported to these countries and they were held in high esteem there. Several universities were established during this period for imparting theoretical and practIcal training in dIfferent religious and becular subjects. Taxila and Nalanda were the t\VO such universitIes which attracted not only intellectuals, from different parts of this country but many from abroad. In Taxila, there was a medical faculty wIth Atreya as its Chairman. In Buddhist literature, there are many" interesting stories and anecdotes about the activities of these universities, their scholars and faculty members. One such anecdote is related to JIvaka who was three times crowned as the King of PhysicIans because of his proficieBcy in the art of heallng. He was an expert in paediatrics and brain surgery. It was the practice at that tilDe for candidates desirous of admissIon to the faculty in the university tt) appear for a test before the nvarapala or the gate-keeper. Jlvaka and several other princes had to face these tests before being considered for admissIon to the medi.. cal faculty. They were asked to go to the nearby forests and collect as many plants as possible, \vhich did not possess any medicinal property. By the evening candidates returned

xxxiv

Matel ia Medica

with several plants whicll they constdered to be free from medicinal properties. Jlvaka did not return for several days and, when he did, he was empty handed. On a query from the gate-keeper, Jlvaka replied, "1 could not find any plant, or for that matter anything which does not have medicinal value." He alone was selected for admission to the medical faculty. This was the status of knowledge of the candidates for the medical faculty at that time. This was the time when the knowledge of materia medica became highly developed. As has been mentioned before, Buddhism was partially responsible for the arrest of development in some branches of ayurveda. Foreigners who ruled over India brought with them medicines and medical men from their own countries and patronised them. The practice of ayurveda, thus, lost tIle support and patronage of the rulers. Apart from foreIgn invasIons, during the medieval period, the ruling states in this sub-continent itself were engaged in fighting amongst themselves. The spread of Buddhism was so rapid among the masses of India and abroad that the intellectuals of the country were terribly afraid for tl1eir own eXIstence. While their rulers were engaged in polItical battles, these intellectuals quarrelled among themselves in the name of rellgion. During this process, many libraries \vere burnt. Quite apart from any origInal thinkIng, the scholars could not preserve even the books which had already been composed prior to this period. The practice of ayurveda was despised. It \vas considered sinful to touch a dead body or a woman giving birth to a child. Thus, the practice of obstetrics, anatomical dissections and surgery went out of the hands of the physicians. ExamInatIon of urine and stool was conSIdered unclean. Pulse examination oy touching the patient was frowned upon. Thus, the practitioners of ayurveda became outcastes. The profession did not attract intellectuals. Specialised branches disappeared from the scene. What remained were only a few medicines for a few diseases and these were practised by people of low intellectual calibre. Because of the arrest of the progress, many superstItious interpolations and redactions crept into .i"he medical texts. Evel1 these texts were not readlly availabl~ Such was the

state of affair during the sixteenth century A.D. vihich moved Rajl ToQ:aranlalla to salvage the remanants of these SCIences from the then available mutilated texts by incorporating the knowledge and experience of the scholars of that time. Iii this encyclopaedIc work different tOPICS of ayurveda are described in 97 chapters. Out of these, only ten selected chapters have been utilised for preparation of the present work on materia medica.. Literature on Ayurvedic

medica

The oldest text on the materia medica of ayurveda now extant is the Rasa vaisesika of Nagarjuna (fifth century A.D.). It deals~ among others, with various concepts of drug composition and drug action. During the medieval period, the A$faiiga niglza1Jttl was composed by one Vahatacarya. This work describes the synonyms of drugs belonging to various groups or ga~1as of A . r;!iinga samgraha. This Vahatacarya seems to be . different from Vagbhata, the author of A~tliJiga hrdaya and As/anga samgraha. This seems to be the work done during the eighth century A.D.. The Paryaya ratnalniilti of Madhava (9th century A.D.) descrIbes the synonyms of different groups of drugs. Dhanvantari nigha1J!u is perhaps the most popular text where the properties of different groups of drugs are described along with their synonyms.. This work Was composed prior to the thirteenth century A ..D. Nigha1){u se~a was composed by a Jain scholar namely Hemacandra in twelfth century A.D. It contains the synonyms of different types of plal1ts" Soifhala niglta~ztu is another important work on the materia medica of ayurveda next to Dhanvantari nighatu. It was composed during the twelfth century A.D. Madanapiila nighaIJtu composed by Madana pala in 1374 A.D. describes the properties of different types of drugs. Kaiyadeva nigha~zttl wrItten by Kaiyadeva, describes the properties of 9 groups of drugs. It was composed during A.D. 1450. Bhava misra composed an encyclopaedic work called Bhavaprakiisa during the sixteenth centllry A.D. It has a separate section on the description of drugs and their synonyms. BesIdes, several texts on rasa stistra were composed d",lring this period. In these texts the properties of metals and minerals and a few vegetable as well as animal products are also described.

Medica

These texts on the materia medica of ayurveda were composed prior to the composition of Ayurveda SaukJlyariz oj Todarananda. Many verses of Ayurveda SC,fukltyarh are ulc;o available in the Bhiiva-prakasa, Ayurl'eda prak lisa and 4i\1 tidhava njgha~ltu, even though these names are not quoted by the author. A cursory glance through the text of AJ urvecfa Satlkhyam of Todaramalla indicates that the author l1as taken care to indIcate the name of the text or the author from where material has been compiled. Mtidhava nighantu, A~vurveda pra/\t2sa and Bhava prakiisa were already composed when Ayur~'eda Sazlkh)"'aliz \vas under preparation. Either these \vorks \vere not COl1sidered important enough to be cited as references or they were not avaILable to the scholars who compiled the text of A,vurveda Suukh}'anl. The identity of the texts between these works l1alneIy, Ayurveda Saukhyanz on the one hand, and M adhava n;gha1Jt u ,> Ayurv(da prakiisa and Bhiiva prakiis..z on the ot11eT, indicates that all of them might have collected their textual material fr0111 another work \VhlCh has since gone extinct.
The classification of drugs, food and drinks in these texts. vary from each other. The system of classification followed by A1iidhava nlgha!J!u is closer to the classification followed in4 Ayurveda Saukh}'am. Basic Concepts regarding the Creation of the universe

Ayurveda has drawn its basic concepts from the differentphilosophical systems of ancient India. The Siirhkya-PatanjaJa system and the Nyaya-Tiaise$ika system have considerably Influenced the physical, physico-chemIcal, physlo1ogical and pharmocological theories of ayurveda. Siirhkya-Patafrjala~ systenl accounts for the creatl0n of the universe and composit 1 0n of Inatter on the principles of cosnlic evolution. The Nyaya valse~ika system lays down the methodology of scientific studIes and elaborates the concepts of Inechanics, physics. and chemistry.
The manifested world, according to the Siimkya is an evo-~ lution of the unmanifested Prakrti or primordial matter" stuff, which is conceived as formless and undifferentiated, limitless and ubiquitous, indestructible and undecaying, ungrounded and

end.. It is in reality an

This unity of Prakrti is a mere abstractioD. undifferentiated manifold and indeterminate infinite continuum of three attributes called (I) the satt~'a (2) the rajas and -(3) the lamas. The sattva attrlbute is the nledium of reflection of intelligence. The rajas represents the energy \vhich creates a tendency for work by overcoming resistance. The tamas is the mass or Inertia where the effects of rajas and sattva in the form I"of energy and conscience respectively are manifested.

These three gUlJOS or attributes are interdependant. The rajas, ill combinatIon '\ivith the sattva, helps in the creation of the s.ensory and motor faculties including the mental faculty. The rojas, in combination \vith fal11as, gives rise to theiive categories of tann'liftl{is whicll are also knovvn as subtle bhafas. These fanmiit, as a:-e In the form of quanta of different types of energy, \Vhicb, b)-' different types of of permutation and combi11ation, gives rise to different categories of material. All these quanta of energy are present in all the types of matter. Therefore, there is nothing like a pure substance consistIng of only one type of energy. It is at this stage that the energy is transformed into matter \vith undifferentiable distinction. These unmanifested tannziitras and the nlanifested mahabhtilas are of five types namely, prthvi, ap, tejas, viiyu and iikiisa.

'Since tl~ere is 110tlling lIke a pure substance, as has already tecl1 explained, tIle substance of a drug is called plirthiv~a, lip)'C/, taiJosa, vtlJ'avfya or iikiisfya, depending upon the predOll1111ance of the tannziitriis of prthvi:J ap, te]as, vayu al1d ti!';llsa respectively in its composition.
.t~ccording to N}'a)'a-Vaise$ika system, there are nine drav..v as or categories of matter. They are the five mahti bhutas, 11an~ely, prtlzl'i, ap, tejas, V[I}'U and iikiisa and dzk (direction or space), kala (time), litman (soul) and 1nanas (mind). It is significant to note here that the time and space are considered in Nyaya- Vvaise$ika as t\\lO different categories of matter. Similarly, titn2an and nlanas are also considered as matter. Thus, accordlllg to Nyaya-Vaise$ika, the entire universe, including the .time, :.space, soul and mind is of nine categories. Depending upon

xxxviii

Materia Medica

their attributes all the basic atoms of modern physics and chemistry can be classified into these five categorIes of 112alzii bhfitas. If these items are to be explaIned accordulg to theSiill1/\ya-Piitanjala system then each one of tI1ese atoms is a conglomeration of five categories of energy or tanmatriis, having a mass in the form of prthvf, cohesion or gravitation in the form of ap, heat or light In the form of tejas, "motion In the form of vayu and intermittant space in the form of iikiisa tanmatra. Thus, the N}'G.}'a- Vaise$i!,a concept of matter begins. from where the Slirhkll}'a-Piitafi./ala concept of matter ends. There is a subtle difference between these two concepts. These mahabhutas are present both In drugs and in human bodies, . in a particular proportIon. The human body grows dUIlng young age, gains stability during adulthood and gets decayed or reduced during the old age. During all these stages of human life, these Inahiibhutas remain in a particular proportion in a state of equilibrium in the human body. During the different stages of lIfe, because of the activities of life force represented in the form of the action of agni or enzymes, there is a natural consequence of these mahtibhfttas being consumed for the nlanifestation of energy and heat. ThIs natural loss is replenished and the hormal growth and, maIntenance of stability are achieved by the supplementation of these mahiibhutas through intrinsic and extrinsic sources i.e., food, drinks, senses, air, light and mental activities. If there is any change in this equilibrium of maJzabhutas In the human body, it results in disease and decay. To correct this state of imbalancement, the patien1s are given different types of drugs, food, drinks and regimens which help in the maintenance of this state of equilibrium. 1 his, In brief, IS the concept on the basis of which a drug is selected for the treatment of a diseas~. But it is very difficult to ascertain tIle nature of the mahtibhutas WhICh have undergone changes in tIle body. It is also difficult to ascertain the quantum of mahtibhula present In a partIcular drug, diet or regimen. / That l~ why, for all practical purposes, this theoretical concept In ayu:5veda has further been slmplrfied with a view to enable the physician to determine with ease and convenience the nature of'

disturbance in the body and the type of drug~ diet and regimen required for a healthy person and a patient.
Composition of Human body

The five lnahiibhutas which enter into the composition of the human body are classified Into three categories, namely (1) dO$as, (2) the dhiitus and (3) the 117alas. Do~as govern the physiological and physico-chemical activities of the body and these are three in number, namely (1) vayu, (2) pittel and (3) kapha. (These are often mistranslated as wind, bile and phlegm respectively). Viiyu is responsible for all the movements and sensations, including motor actIons inside the body. Pitta is responsible for all physio-chemical activities of the body in the form of metabolism, production of heat and energy. Kapha is the substance which maintains compactness or cohesiveness in the body by providIng the fluid matrix to it. These do~as are dominated by different mahabhutas as per the table given below : -

DO$a
1. Vii.VU

2. Pitta 3. Kapha

Dominating mahabhata Vayu and liklisa lnahabhilias Tejas n1ahiibhflta Prthvi and ap mahabhutas.

These do~as, namely, viiyu, pitta and ',apha, are further divided into five categories each. Their locations and functions are described in detail in ayurvedic classics. Diseases that are produced by the aggravation or diminution of do~a9 are also described in ayurvedic texts. From these signs and syn1ptoms manifested in the human body, the physician can judge the type of mahiibhuta that has gone astray resulting in the manifestation of the disease and this helps the physician to select a particular drug.

The dhiitus are the basic tissue elements of the body. They are seven in number, namely, (1) raSCl or chyle or plasma, (2) rakta or the red-blood corpuscles, (3) n1.0msa or muscle tissue, (4) medas or the fat tissue, (5) asthi or bone tissue, (6) 1110jjii or the bone marrow and (7) ,ukra and rajas or the sperm and ovum which are responsible for procreation.

Materia Medica

These dhatus or basic tissue elements remain in a particular proportIon in the human body and any change in their equilibrium leads to disease and decay. Their functions are described in detail in ayurvedic classics. Diseases are produced only Vvnen the dO$oS interact \vlth these dhatus and this .happens only when there is disturbance in their equilibrium. These seven dhiitus are also composed of five mahabhzltas. However, prthvf mahabhilta predominates in muscle and fat tissues; jala mahabhata predomInates in lymph, chyle and other fluid tissue elements; the hemoglobin fraction of the blood is primarily composed of tejas mahiibhuta; bones are composed of viiyu nzahilblzufa and the pores inside the body are domil1ated by iikasa mahabhZita.
If there is any change in the equilIbrium of these dlzlitus certain signs and symptoms are manifested in the body which are descrIbed in detail in ayurvedic classics.. From these signs and symptoms, the physician can ascertain the mahabhautic requirement of the body for the correction of the disease, and drugs are selected accordingly.

The ma/as or the waste products are primarily of three categories, namely, (1) the stool, (2) the urine and (3) the sweat. These are required to be elimInated regularly. The catabolic products of the body in the form of unwal1ted nzalzliblzfltas are eliminated through them.. If these are not eliminated ill the required quantity, then this re~ults In disease and decay, and various signs and sylnptoms are l11anifested in tIle body. Froln tl1ese signs and symptoms, the physician can ascertain the exact 112ahtibhautic requIrement of tIle body and select a drug or recipe for correcting the disease.
Thus, the physician can ascertain the exact position of the mahiibhutas in the body from certain external Slg11S and synlptoms.

From the above description alone, it becomes difficult at times to select a partIcular drug, diet, drink or regimen for the treatment of a particular disease. To facilitate the understanding of the mahiibhautic composition of a drug and to ascertain its exact action on the human body, drugs are classIfied into six categorIes on the basis of their tastes; into 20 categories OD' the baSIS of their gUlJas or attributes; into eight or two categories on the basIs of their virya or potency and into three categories on the basis of their vipiika or the taste that emerges after digestion. In ayurvedic texts, the actions of differentgroups of drugs on the above lines are described in detail.. From these tastes (rasas) , attributes (gUlJas), potency (virya) and the taste that emerges afrer digestion (viptika), one can determine the mahtibhaz/.tic composition of the drug. The dom-inating mahli bhiltas in drugs of different tastes are given in the table below:

Materia Medica

TI-e 11lahablzautic composition of these vipakas is determined according to those of the resp~ctive tastes.

The action of some drugs cannot be explained according to their rasa (taste), gUlJa (attrIbute), vfrya (potency) and vipaka (taste that emerges after digestion). It is because the maha bhiifas which take part in the manifestation of rasa, gUlJQ etc.~ do not actually take part in producing the therapeutic action of the drug. They manlfest their actIon only when the drug is administered to the patient and this is called prabhliva or specific action. It ,viII be seen from tIle above that a drug, diet or dri11k, for a l1ealthy person or a patient to prevent and cure a disease, is not selected empIrically but on the basis of a rational theory. In the ayurvedic texts on materIa medIca, ill respect of each drug, such rational explanations are not provided because such detaIls ""ere not fOllnd necessary. None the less, these rational explanations are always kept in view before deciding upon the therapeutIc effect of a drug. On the basis of accumulated experience and the repeated observatIons through centuries., these actions are determilled. A physiCIan or a research worker is supposed to have prior comprehension of the rationality of these actions on the basis of paribhii$tl that is described in the fundamental concepts. Mechanism of Drug Action Before closing this topic, it will be necessary' to explain SOD1e basIc differences in tIle nlechanism of drllg action bet\~/een aYllrveda and the modern allopathic system of medicine" Ayurveda, Ill\:e other systems of traditional medicine, l1as its -cnique features" It lays more emphasis on the promotion of positive health and prevention of diseases. The eXIstence of organisms and their role in the causation of several infective diseases in the body have been recognised and elaborated. But for the l,revention and cure of such diseases, the drugs and therapies prescribed in ayurvedic classics and administered by ayurvedi: pllysicians do not aim at only killing these organlsnls. Some of these n1edicines might have bacteriostatic or bac..t ericidal effects. But most of them do 110t act in this way_ In

Introduction

XLV

ayurveda, more emphasis is laid upon the "fi.eld~' than th~ "seed". If the field IS barren then the seed, howsoever potent it may be, will not germinate. Similarly, howsoever potent the germ or the bacteria may be, they will not be able to produce disease in the human body unless the tissues of the body are fertIle (vItiated) enough to accept them and help in their growth and multiplication. Killing these germs by administering medicine would not solve the problem permanently. It may give instant relief, and perhaps the body resistance during this period will be developed enough as a reaction to the infectIon by these germs which may result In the prevention of theIr further attacks. Man cannot li've in an absolutely germfree atmosphere even though he can minimise it. The only thing that can be done safely is to keep the tIssues of the body barren and unreceptive towards these germs. Once the body IS afflicted, the tissues should be so conditioned by drugs, diet and other regimen that these germs or bacteria, by whatsoever name \ve may call theIn, will find the atnlosphere hostile tovvards theIr survival, multIplicatIon and gro\vth. All medIcInes and therapies including preventive measures prescribed in ayurveda aim at conditIonIng the tissues and not kIlling the Invading organIsms. Allopathic drugs which are employed specially for killIng organisms may produce the same or a simIlar effect on the tissues of the body. When they are given in a dose sufficient to kill the invading organisms, they may simultaneously kill the friendly organisms in the body as well, and may impair the normal functioning of the tissues. Thus, they produce side or toxic effects whIle curing the disease. Ayurvedic medicines, on the other hand, while conditioning the tissues of the body against the organisms, nourish and rejuvenate them. Thus, when the disease is cured, the individual gets many. side benefits It is because of this that all ayurvedic medicines are tonics. Except for a few modern drugs, e.g. minerals and vitamins.. all others are meant exclusively for patients. All ayurveqic drugs, on the other hand, can be gIven to both patients and healthy individuals simultaneously-in patients they cure diseases ancl-

XLvi

Materia Medica

in healthly individuals they prevent disease and promote positive health. "fo illustrate the point: vasa (Adhatoda vasica Nees) is very often prescribed by ayurvedic physicians to a ~patlent suffering from bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis and even tuberculosis. May be, some fractions of this drug have properties to kill some of the organisms causing these ailments. But that is not the primary consideration which 1110tivates the physician to prescribe this drug. These organisms thrive and multIply to produce a disease in the respiratory tract and throat only when the local tIssue elements are afflicted with excessive kapha dosa. Vcisa counteracts this aggravated kaplza do~a, and helps in the D1aintenance of its state of equillbrium in the body by which the organisms become incapable of producing these ailments. In ayurveda the treatment prescribed does not aim at correcting the afflicted part alone. In the process of nlanifestation of the disease several organs are involved. The disease takes its origil1 fronl a partIcular place. It moves through a particular channel and then gets manifested in a partIcular organ. Therefore, the treatment always aims at correcting the site of origin, the channels of circulation along with the site of manifestatIon of the disease-all together. Take for example, the treatment of bronchial asthma which in ayurvedic parlance is known as taJnaka svtisa. The breathing dIfficulty ill the disease is caused by the spasm of the bronchi, and to relieve It, antispasmodic drugs are generally prescribed in modern l11edicine. But the aim of tile ayurvedic treatment of this disease is different May be, some ayurvedic drugs used against thIS disease have this antispasmodic effect whIch can be demonstrated evel1 in animals under experiment. But most of the drugs which are used in this treatment will not produce al1Y antl-spasn10dic effect al1d a pharmacologist will be at a loss and reject them as useless ill the treatment of bronchial asthma. A clinician, on the other hand, will appreciate its effects on hIS patIent,s even though he may not be a 'Jle to explain their effects in terms of modern physiologIcal and pathological concepts. This disease takes its origin from the stomach and small intestine. The prinlary aim of the ayurvedic physIcian is to correct these two organs either by

Introduction

XLvii

giving emetic tIlerapy, or by giving such medicines which will keep the bowels clean. Harita.'<.f (Terlninalia chebu/a Retz..) along \vith otIler medicInes is u'icful in correcting these two orgal1s of the body, and therefvre, all preparations indicated for the treatment of bronchial asthma invariably contain JlaritaAf and other drugs having identical properties.

These four topics on (1) the basic concepts regarding the creation of the uni'verse; (2) composition of the human body; .(3) drug composition and (4) the mechanism of drug action~ .described above are very important to the understanding and appreciation of the materia medica of ayurveda. At times, research workers, in their enthusiasm to develop the new drug from the plant sources, chemically and pharmacologically screen the drugs prescribed in the ayurvedic materia medica without paying any attention to these basic -concepts and peculiar features of the syst~m. They try to isolate alkaloids, glycosides and other similar active principles from these drugs. These so called active principles,. are often not found in some of these ayurvedic drugs and when they are found they do not necessarily produce the results which are attributed to the whole drug in the ayurvedic materia medica. No wonder" therefore, that the scientists are disapPointed at the end of their hard labour and after considerable expenditure from the State exchequer. Sometimes they come to an erroneous con~usion that all ayurvedic drugs or at least most of them are therapeutically useless. ThlS disappointment and wrong conclusion could be avoided if the research on ayurvedlc drugs is planned and designed in the beginning., keeping in view these fundamental prInciples of ayurveda on drug composition and drug action. In the present text on ayurvedic n1ateria medica, only the single drugs-their synonyms alld properties are descrIbed .along \Vltll a few compound recipes, food artIcles and drinks. In actual ayurvedic practice, along with the single drugs, a number of compound preparations are used. These single .drugs and cOlnpoul1d preparations \vhich are in use in ayurvedic therapeutic; are not free fron1 shortcomings.

XL'viii
Classification of Ayurvedic Drugs

Materia M edic~

In Ayurveda, more than 8000 medicines-single drugs and' compound preparations-have been described. In general, these" ayurvedic drugs can be classified into five categories as follows : (a) Scientifically Studied Drugs: Some single drugs and compound preparations, for example, sarpa gandhii and yogaraja guggulu ha,e been studied scientifically and their thera-peutlc claims verified. Sarpa gandha is useful for high blood pressure and yoga raja guggulu for rheumatism. The gum resin of a plant called guggulu is the important Ingredient ofthe latter medicine. (b) Popular Non-toxic Drugs: Some ayurvedic medicines are popular for their therapeutic utility and of non-toxIC character. One such medicine is Cyavana prasa. Amalakf is the important ingredient of this medicine which is useful in treatlng chronic diseases of the lungs like chronic bronchItis. (c) Effectil e but Toxic Drugs: There are some drugs for examp1e, hhalilitaka avaleha, which have known therapeutic value .but which also produce severe toxicity, if used injudiciously. Bhallataka is the important ingredient of this medicine which js used in the treatment of chronic and obstinate skin dIseases, among others.
1

(d) Drugs of Rare Use: Some drugs, for example, Srz vi$1Ju taila, thougll mentioned in ayurvedic classIcs, are not in extensive use. Only physicians of certain regions of India use them and claim their efficacy. (e) Hereditary and Patent Drugs: Some phySIcians have specialIsed in curing certain dIseases. The formulae and methods of" preparatIon of the drugs they administer are known only to tIlem or to the trusted members of their family. While some of tJ'e drugs are not as effective as the claims made for them, some others are found to be very effective. In most cases, physicians are not at all willing to disclose the formulae; and even If they give consent, it is assocIated with a demand~ for heavy financial compensation.

Introduction
Need For Standardization

XLix

In olden days, the physician was rarely required te> be consulted for minor ailments because the senior members of every family were well acquainted with the use of herbs available in their vicinity for treating such ailments. The physician's role in such cases was only to guide the family members to obtain the correct herb, to process it properly and to instruct the patient about the dietetic and other regimen to be followed.. Only serious cases were brought to the physician for direct supervision, and in such cases, he had to prepare his own medicines. Things have changed now. At present, the physician is approached even for a minor ailment. People generally are: not lnterested in knowing common household remedies or they do not believe in their efficacy. Thus, ayurvedic physicians,. like modern doctors, have become busy practitioners who are also hard pressed for time to prepare their own medicines. Even for dispensing, these physicians are dependant entirely upon their compounders. As a result, many big commercial firms supplying medicines to ayurvedic physicians have come intoeXIstence. This, in turn, has led to a number of problems as

follows:
(a) Collection of Premature Herbs: For therapeutic purposes different parts of medicinal plants are required to be used which are to be collected during specified periods. For example~ iinzalakf should be collected only when the fruits are fully ripe.. Annual plants should be collected before the ripening of seeds,.. blennials during spring and perennials during autumn. Twigs. must be of the first year~s growth and roots, leaves and bark ~hould be collected in the cold, hot and rainy seasons respectively. These instructions are seldom followed during the actual collection of herbs by large manufacturers of ayurvedic med-

icines.
(b) Improper Processil1,g and Preservation: Usually, ra"v drugs. are stored for some tIme before they are processed. Propercare In processing and preservation is required so that the activeprinciples of the drugs may 110t get deteriorated. Dumping them In bundles or In gunny bags, Ulld keeping them exposed

Materia Medica

to sun, raIn and dust, adversely affect their therapeutIc effectiveness.

(c) Methods of Preparatzon : Various methods are indicated in ayurvedic texts for 'the preparation of the same medicine. WhIle some of the methods involve much time and labour, some others are less expensive. For reasons of economy, quite a few pharmacies follow the less expensive methods or develop some methods which nlake their products less expensive with no guaral1tee that the drugs so prepared are equally effective. According to ayurvedic texts, raw oil has to be processed before it is used for the preparation of medicated oil. This processing is known as 117U r clza'1a. Pharmacies very rarely resort to thIS processing and in the absence of standard methods for testing these discrepancies in their drug preparation, the physi-' cians cannot be sure about the effectiveness of the drugs tl1ey prescrIbe. (d) Use of Adulterated and Sub-standard Drugs : Therapeutically important drugs lIke vatsa nablza and ya$!i madhu are often adulterated and sold in the marl<et at a comparatively cheaper price. In the absence of any effective control over the sale of adulterated and spurious drugs, the dealers take full advantage and sell to their customers anything that resembles, or is made to resemble the genuine drug. The-art of adulteratlon and pre. pration of spurious drugs has advanced to such an extent that even the most experienced among the va:idyas finds it difficult to distinguish between genuine and spurious samples. Ayurvedie physicians as well as commercial firms are often cheated and supplied with adulterated stuff. This obvious.}y results in the circulation of sub-standard drugs in the market:
t

(e) Substitution of Costly Drugs:' In some ayurvedic texts, of late, pratinidhi drav}'as or offIcial substitutes of many costly drugs have been prescrIbed; for example, kU$tha can be used in place of p'L.$kara mfi/:;z and gaja pippalf in the place of cavya. Instead of treating these usages as exceptional cases, the substitutes are often unscrupulously used as a rule (under the shelter of textual IJrescriptions) to make the medicInal preparations cheaper..

Introduction

Li

(f) Omission of Ingredients: Generally speaking, compound preparations are used in ayurvedic medicines.. It is often the total effect of all the ingredients in the formula rather than the action of individual drugs that plays a vital role in therapeutics. Drug combInations are envisaged to serve the following important purposes:
(1) Syn,ergistic action : TrlJa-paiica-mula-kvatha presents a case of synergistic action . Even though all the ingredients of this group are known to be diuretics, still when given together, they produce marked diuresis \vhich effect is not observed in individual drugs..

(ii) Combined action: The case of RaSl1.ii-saptaka-kviitha used for the treatlnent of rheumatic afflictions is illustrative of the combined action of an ayurvedic medicine. For curing rheumatism, which is known in ayurveda as lima vaia, the medicine should have sedative, digestive, laxative and antiinflammatory action. Of all the ingredients of this drug, riisnti is anti-inflammatory and sedative, ginger promotes dIgestion,. and the root of eravrJa is a laxative.
(Iii) Neutralizing toxicity: An example of this is the case of Agni tun{ii vati.. Kupflu is an irritant to the nerves. It cannot be taken alone in a heavy dose as is required to make it therapeutically effective. But it is well tolerated when taken in combination with other drugs, specially after undergoing sodhana.

(iv) Specific Action: An example of this is the case of Cyavana praia. Pippalz added to this preparation has heating effect in addition to anti-tubercular property. The heating effect of the preparation 18 neutralized by the addition of other cooling drugs like iimalakf.. Thus, the n1edicine is left with a

marked anti-tubercular effect.

Keeping the above points in view, various formulae have been described for medicinal preparations in ayurvedic classics. Due to non-availability of drug ingredients or the expense involved, If any Ingredient is accidentally or intentionally omitted from the preparation then not only is the efficacy reduced but adverse effects may also be produced at times.

Lii

Materia Medica

(g) Improper Storage: Different categories of ayurvedic preparations which remain effective for a certain limited period are described in the classics. If these drugs are kept for a longer period, they lose their potency. Large D1anufacturing concerns, however, cannot help neglect thIS rule; fOT, the drugs prepared cannot be consumed Immediately but will have to be sent to their various branches. Hence, there is considerable lap&e of time before the medicine is actually used by the

patient.
Identification of Raw Drugs
It is difficult to correctly identify certain drugs described in ayurvedic classics due to the following reasons:

Non-availability: Some drugs like Soma and Jfvaka are not available nowadays. It is probable that they have (a)

become extinct.
(b) Multiplicity of Names: In ayurvedic classics, drugs are often described with synonyms. Synonyms apart, the same drug is known by different names in different parts of tIle country. For example, elitoria ternatea Linn. whicll is known in North India as apara jltii~ is called sarhkha pU.$pf In South India. But these two have distinct and different therapeutic attributes or characteristics.
(c) Many Drugs l1-'itlz Same Name: Under the name of

]'"iisnii, thirteen dIfferent drugs are being made use of in dIfferent

parts of tIle country for medicinal preparations.

(d) NOlz-availabilit}, of Specific Varieties: The drug harital<l is said to be of seven varieties. But presently, not more than four varieties are available. So is the case with other drugs lilce bhrngartija and dUrva.. (e) Exotic Plants: Some plants, though introduced in India very recently~ have grown profusely. Due to lack of proper knowledge, some of these plants have been given ayurvedic names "vhich have led to their wrong identification.

Adulteration: Because of short supply, drugs, such as

"J'a$fi-madhu, are often adulterated.

(g) Synthetic Preparations: Taking advantage of the heavy demand from consumers of certain drugs, such as vamsa /ocana or bamboo salt, some firms have started manufacturing imitations and synthetic preparations the therapeutic efficacy of which 1S in no way comparable to that of the genuine drug.

Difficulties for Identification

Most of the ayurvedic drugs can be identified conveniently. But there are some, which elude proper identification because of the following reasons :
(a) Passage of Time: Ayurvedic classics were written about 3000 years ago. Some of the drugs described at that time may have undergone modifications due to physical and genetic factors and some others may have become extinct. Thus, identification of a drug from the physical characteristics mentioned in the ayurvedic texts or commentaries thereon is not an easy task. The plant soma, which is mentioned even in the Vedas, is described by Susruta as having 15 leaves in total. ,On new moon day, the plant, becomes leafless and every day thereafter, one leaf is added to it till It has 15 leaves on full moon day.. Its root IS said to contain a large quantIty of an exhilarating sweet juice. Plants of this description are not, however, to be seen now.
Inadequate Description: An important plant by name described as having golden latex and leaves like those of siiriva. This is said to grow in the Himalayas. ThIs information is,. however, very inadequate for identifying the plant correctly. Whether the contributors to the ayurvedlc .classic<5 had a knovvledge of systematic botany or not is a debatable point; but when these texts were compiled~ there was no printing facility, so much so that brevity was always the rule in describing ayurvedic drugs.
(b)

Maieria Medica"

(c) Loss of Contact: In olden days, learning had to be done through guru-siya paranipara, which meant that the disciple had to seek and obtain first-hand knowledge fro In' teachers. But with the advent of foreIgn influence, thIS traditional way of learning has been given IIp. Due to tile il1adcquacy of written texts and the absence of dlrect lInks to gain" deeper knowledge of the ayurvedic classics, it became difficult for later authors to appreciate what has been originally stated' in the classics; and this has resulted in incoherent views. Personal knowledge of drugs available in various surroundings has become so meagre that ayurvedic physicians are ofteD required to seek guidance from cow-herds and forest dwellers.. for the identification of such drug').
(d) Lack of Facility: Even the available ]cnowledge is not properly codified. Descriptions of plants al1d animals are alsO' available in texts allied to ayurveda, such as Slnrti sastras and: Dharma siistras. They are required to be critIcally screened.

(e) Observance of Secrecy: In the medieval period, in order to prevent the acquisition of ayurvedic knowledge by foreign, invaders and unscrupulous natIves, names having more than one meaning and also wit"h allegorical meanings have been. used in the texts. Due to the rigidity observed in the selectionf' of disciples, some authors died without training even a singledisciple and the knowledge acquired by them had thus been. lost.

Short Supply: Sonle important raw drugs, such as.. Hence, tbeir-prices are not only very high but spurious substitutes for them( are also largely sold in the market.
(f)

musk and bamboo salt, are In short supply.

Procedure for Naming Formulae

The names of the drug formulations are usually based on thefollowing six factors:

(a) Important Ingredient: Some preparations are named~ after the important ingredient, for exanlple, An'lalakf rasayana.

Jntrodu,- tion

LV

Authorship: The name of the sage or t$i who first dis~overed or patronized the formula is used in naming the drug, for example, Agastya harftakf.

(b)

(c) Therapeutic Property: The disease for which the formula "vas IndIcated is at tilnes used in naming the preparation~ -for example, KU$l/taghna lepa. (d) First Ingredient of the Forlnllla : The drug that heads the list in the formula is sometimes used in naming the preparation, for example, PippaZyasava. (e) Quantity of Dl1.-lg: At times, the preparation is named ..after the quantity of drug used, for example, $atpala ghrta.
(f) Part of the Plant: The drug is at times named after the part of the plant used, for example, Dasa mula ka~aya.

Multiplicity of Formulae
There are medicines having the same name but a number .of dIfferent formulae, so much so that each differs from the -other in composItion, ratio' of ingredients, method of preparation, mode of administration~ mode of action, dosage and o.nupana. Take, for example, khadzrtidi valL It has as many as eight formulae. In this preparation, the number of ingredients varies from 5 to 37, and the percentage of the main ingredient, namely, khadira (catechu) varies from 15 to 92. In four out of the eight formulae, costly drugs like kasturi or musk are added, the percentage of musk varying from formula to formula. In .one formula, poisonous drugs like bhallataka and biikuci are added as they are considered to be effective in obstinate skin diseases including leprosy. Thus, standardization of such medicines, WhICh must also take into aCCOul1t of these variations, poses a very dIfficult problem.

Pharmaceutical Processes In ayurveda, different pharmaceutical processes are followed in the preparation of drugs. BesIdes helping Isolation of the

Lvi

Materia Medica:

active fraction of the drugs, these processes help make the medIcines: (a) easily administrable, (b) tasteful, (c) digestible and assimilable, ( d) therapeutically more effective, (e) less toxic and more tolerable, and (f) more preservable.
Sodhana or Purification

Some raw drugs are required to be used after Sodhana. The-literal meaning of the "vard sodllana is purification. But this is often misinterpreted to mean that the substance is rendered physically and chemically pure. Sodhana, no doubt, brings. about physical and chemical purity to some extent but at times. n10re physical and chemical impurlties are added to the substance during certain stages of thIs processing. By such additions, the drug becomes less toxic and therapeutically more effective. Pure aconite, for example, cannot be administered sc> freely as sodhita aconite. AconIte, WhICh is a cardiac depressant,.. becomes a cardiac stimulant after sodhana with cow's urine_ Thus, tIle actual implications of sodhana processes require detailed study.
SOIne gum resins, such as guggulu and. some drugs containing volatile oils, such as kustha are also described to undergo' sodhana by boiling them with milk, go-mutra, etc. Boiling ot: these drugs however, definitely reduces the volatile oil content which is supposed to be therapeutically very activ~. The utility of such purificatory processes should, therefore, bestudIed before proceeding with the standardization of ayurvedic drugs.

Ayurveda should not be viewed from the point of history of medicine alone. Jt is both history and lnedicine. N~ doubt, there is a history of thousands of years behind it, but it iseven now a living medical system caterIng to the health needs.. of millions of people living in India, SrI lanka and NepaD

including some of the Central Asian and South East Asian countries. There are several hundreds of trained and registered practitioners of .ayurveda In these countries and people have implicit faith in the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs and therapies of this system. Like other medical systems it has, of course, its limitations. Advanced civilization and modernisation have not left ayurveda untouched Accidental human errors and intentional profit motives coupled wIth the vicissitudes of time have created several problems for this system of medicine. Therefore, the Ayurvedic drug that is found in the market may not carry the same therapeutic effect as is clainled for ]t in the ayurvedic texts. The reasons for this are elaborated in the last eIght topics of this 'Introduction' for the guidance of research workers~ practitioners and well wishers of this system..

A physician who is not acquainted with the good and bad effects of drugs:. diet and regimens, does not correctly know the things which are useful and harmful for healthy persons and patients. Therefore, a good physician who desires the welfare of others, sIlould carefully ascertain the good and bad qualities of all these things.

Physicians generally do not like to go through details. They like books in condensed form. Therefore, this work is being composed In a condensed form by collecting useful material (from different sources).

Vi~a

(Poisons)

Mythology A powerful demon, who was created by Brahma, created disturbance in the performance of rituals by the latter. Then Brahm ii, the abode of all the powers (tejas) became very angry and from his mouth the terrifying anger came out in a corporeal form (vigrahaviin) and fell on the roaring powerful demon and burnt him. After his death, that flame surprisingly expanded. Looking at this, the gods became exceedingly sad. Because of its property to cause sorrow (vi~iida), it is called vi$a.. Then being requested by the remaining subjects, [svara withdrew that flame of anger and placed it in stMvaras (those who do not move like vegetable kingdom~ stone etc.,) and cara (those who move like animal kingdom).

Time of taking water Water taken before eating food causes kiisa (bronchitis) and agnimiindya (suppression of the power of digestion). Wherl it is taken during the process of eating, it stimulates the power of dige&tion. If, however, it is taken after the completion of the process of eating, then it causes sthaulya (adiposity).

If there is indigestion water works as a n1edicine. When there is proper digestion, intake of water promotes strel1gth. When taken in the middle of a meal it works like ambrosia and when taken after a meal, water works like a poison.

Manifestation of taste is the defect in taste. The presence of a foul smell is the defect in smell.. When water is taken, if it gets digested after a long time and if it produces thirst, heaviness, colic pain and slivation, then. these are the defects in potency. If water gets dIgested very late and causes fermen... tation of the food, then it should be determined that the water has the defect of vipaka.

A person who takes defective water succumbs to many

Removal of pollution For the removal of pollution, the boiled water should be exposed to the sun's rays and in this water hot pieces of gold, silver, iron, stone, sand or clod of earth should be immersed seven times.. To this water fragrant things like karpi1ra, joti, punniiga, pilla/a etc_ should be added. This ShOllld then be filtered with the help of a clean and compact piece of cloth. It should be protected from small insects. In the vessel containing this clean water, kataka, pearl etc. should be added. This process corrects pollution.

Unseasonal and immature corns cause MallY diseases. Those which are not grown on the ground and which are freshly harvested do not possess the prescribed properties. Freshly harvested corns are abhi$yandi (which obstruct the channels of circulation) and they become light after preservation for one year.

Thus ends the group dealing with different type of corns.

If there is aggravation of vayu~ anupiinas which are unctuous and hot are useful; in pitta sweet and cooling anupanas are useful and in kapha ununctuous and hot anupanas are useful. If there is kaya (consumption) meat soup is the best anupana. After taking oil, ghee etc. hot water should be used as anupiina. The oil of bhallataka is an exception to this rule and cold water should be used after this oil.

Anupiina is invarIably appetiser, nourlshing and aphrodisiac. It helps in the detachment of all the dO$as from the tissue elements. It is refreshing. It produces softness and cures physical as well as mental fatIgue. It produces hapPIness, stimulates dIgestion, alleviates dosas, reduces thirst and promotes strength as well as complexion.

If anupana is used before food, then it causes emaciation. If it is used in the tniddle of the food, thel1 it keeps the dO$ar in their proper posItionslI If it is used after food, then It produces a nourishing effect. Keeping these facts in view one should administer anupana.

If food is taken without any drink, then it remains there without undergoing the process of softening. Therefore one should use anupana.

It has been stated by the sages that the human body which suffers from diseases is a conglomeration of do~as, dhatus (tissue elements) and rna/as (waste products). If there is morbidity in this body, the physician should alleviate these ailments by the administration of drugs. This has already been stated before in brief. Now some of these drugs are being described by putting them into different groups for the convenIence of treatment. These groups are thirty-seven in number. After ascertaining the predominance of eIther vtiyu, pitta or kapha and the nature of the compo~nd, disease and the patient, the physician should administer these drugs after proper selection.

Proper dosage If all these drugs are used in excess of the strength of the disease, then after curing the disease, they produce other ailments. If these are used in excess of the digestive power then they, being undigested, cause flatulence. If they are used in excess of the strength of the indIvidual then they cause mental fatigue, fainting and Intoxication. Therefore, these should be administered in appropriate dosage.

Among the salnz dhiinyas (grains), mii~a is considered to be the most unwholeson1e. This view is not correct because ma$a cures diseases caused by the vitiation of viiyu, suZa (colic pain) and iidhmiina (flatulence). It promotes strength as well as virility. Why should it be treated as unwholesome?

Disease have different varieties and stages. Therefore, physicians who aim at preservation of health do not fix a particular drug for a particular ailment. There are however things which are extremely good or extremely bad. For example, milk is always useful whereas poison is always harmful both for healthy persons as well as patients.
