Abstract

Rasashastra has blessed the world with the proper and systematic guidance for safe and effective utilisation of mineral and toxic elements. Among all the other substances, this is mainly achieved by various Murchita Yoga of Parada as the key ingredient. Koopipakwa Rasayana is one amongst the four Murchita Swaroopa of Parada. To prepare most of the Koopipakwa Rasayana, Kajjali of Parada and Gandhaka has to be prepared and filled in the Koopi for the preparation. There are a few Yoga where the proportion of Parada and Gandhaka for the Kajjali is so unique that it stands out and fascinates towards them for more understanding about them. One such preparation is Haragauri Rasa, which is not available in market currently. It has a very unique proportion for Kajjali as well as there are various references under different names and context in various texts. This literary review is planned to compile various classical references of Haragauri Rasa.

Keywords: Haragauri Rasa, Kajjali, Parada, Gandhaka, Rasasindoora, Koopipakwa.
