Bhaishajya Kalpana is an integral part of Ayurveda which deals with the process of preparation of single and com- pound formulations. The preparation of drugs can be classified into two groups, primary and secondary. Vati is a popular secondary preparation in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. It is a solid dosage form that is produced and marketed in the field of pharmaceutics. This is because of the advantages like it can be swallowed easily without any irritation, handy and fixation of dosage becomes easier. Agnikumara Ras is one such formulation mentioned in Basava- rajeeyam pradhama prakarana indicated in Peenasa, Jwara, ama and Pratishyaya. Agnikumara ras contains Shud- dha Vatsanabha, Maricha, Mustha, Kushta and Vacha. The pharmaceutical procedures adopted in this study are Shodana, Churna nirmana, mardana and preparation of vati of Agnikumara ras. Till now, no research work has been carried out to standardize the method of preparation Agnikumara Ras. Therefore, the present study has been planned to standardize the method of preparation of Agnikumara ras according to the method explained in the classics.Keywords: Agnikumara ras, Shodana, Churna nirmana, pharmaceutical standardization.
