र त ३/४५
Synonyms-:
 Kumbha puta
 Mridubhanda puta
Components
 Instead of any pit in the land an wide earthen pitcher
(स्थलु भाण्डे) is used here.
 The Bhanda or earthen pot is half Filld with the fuel
and the drug containing shrava samputa should be
place carefully and again other half person of the fuel
is filled up to the neck portion .
Fuel
 तष
ु or husk is used here as fuel.
 The crucible containing drug substance is placed
inside the husk covering .The तुष fuel then ignited
with open mouth(no sealing is done) which burns
slowly inside the pitcher and creats a lesser intensity of
heat.
 According to Acharya Bhava Mishra the pot is to be
sealed and put on fireplace. But it is not practised as
the तुष inside the भाण्ड will act as a bad condoctor of
heat and no heating reaction could be occur.
Use
 As no clear instruction regarding fuel quantity or pot
volume is given so temperature may vary accordingly .
 During rainy or windy season when outdoor put could
not be favorable this Bhanda puta may be utilised.
 Highly reactive drgs in lower temperature like
Harital,Manashila etc Aresenic preparation s are
advised.

र त ३/४६
Components
 It is similar to भाण्ड पट
ु , instead of तष
ु , बालुका or sand
is filled inside the भाण्ड .
 An earthen pot is half filled with sand and the crucible
containing drug material is kept on it, and the whole
pot then filled with the remaining sand.
Fuel & heating pattern
 DA Kulkarni the Commentator of RRS has
specified two methods for िालक ु ा पट
ु -:
1. Using Hot Sand as fuel-:Half of the earthen pot is
filled with heated sand and drug contacting
Crucible is placed carefully , and the remaining
part of pot is again filled by hot sand.
2. Using external heating media as fuel for heating
sand-:In this method instead of taking hot sand,
normal sand is filled and the pot is given heat
treatment over a heating device.
3. There is no mention of duration of Heating or
quantity or quality of sand
Use
 Indirect heat but uniform heat in the
form of Sand bath devised during
ancient times.
 Like Valuka yanta here Jarana of
Gandhaka can be done for parada
karma.

(RT) containing drug material is placed in
the underground cavity and sand is filled up
to the height of 2 Angula
ननखवयाद्द्द्चधयनडुलाद्अधिः .
Fuel & Heating Pattern
 It can be co-related with Bhudhara Yantra
 After the drug material filled in the Crucible it should
be sealed with lid. Then placed under earth the land
and filled with Valuka all sides up to the height of 2
Angula. Heat is given over the sand with cow-dung
cakes on the sand surface.
 Here also quantity of cow dung cake not mentioned
Use
 Due to its low yielding temperature only those drug
materials should be processed which are soft in nature
or less hard substances like Parada, Somala etc
अनक्
ु त पट
ु
अनक् ु तपट ु माने तु साध्यद्रव्यबलाबलात ् ।
पुटां विज्ञाय दातव्यमूहापोहविचििौ ॥
र र स १०/६४
When there is no clear reference regarding the type of
Puta to be used for any particular Bhasma/maramna
process then the heating pattern or puta should be
decided on the hardness or softness of the drug
substances.
Puta selectction
 If the drug substance is Mridu or soft in nature then
puta having low intensity of heating should be
choosen. Lavaka Puta,Valuka Puta,Bhudhara or
Bhanda puta should be selected
 In case of Madhyam or moderate hardness of the drug
substance heating pattern should be selected
accordingly. Varaha puta,Kukkuta Puta,Kapota Puta
 In case of hard substance reletevly high temeprature
yelding Puta like Maha Puta or Gaja puta should be
seleacted.
Puta for Ratna/Upratna
 Generally no clear advice found regarding Puta paka of
Ratna and Uparatna- here mild to moderate heat
yealding puta may be used and high temperature
yielding puta should be avoided .
 Where fuel is also not recommended Vanyapola,
Wooden Charcoal, Coal or Tusha or husk may be used
depending upon the drug material nature.
