Ingredients

Shuddha Gandhaka – Herbal purified Sulphur – 10 g
Shuddha Parada – Herbal purified Mercury – 10 g

The above said ingredients are taken in a mortar and triturated. While triturating a little quantity of water is sprinkled over it. When the mass gains the consistency similar to collyrium, it is taken in a  ladle, coated with ghee. On a stove, a wide mouthed vessel is kept, filled with sand. The Ladle is kept over the sand and thus the ghee coated Ladle with kajjali in it is subjected to heat, till it melts. Once the Kajjali completely melts, it is poured onto a ghee smeared banana leaf put on a cow dung platform. This is quickly covered with another banana leaf and pressed with a flat plate.  After self-cooling, the prepared parpati is collected into a jar.
