HIATUS-IN THE MANUFACTURING OF CHYAVANAPRASHA

n the composition of Cyavanaprasa, Caraka Samhita exhorts to consider the prime constituent Amalaki by number system, while the secondary constituents by weight measures. This thrust has been adopted not only in Cyavanaprasa but also in other formulations like Brahma rasayana, Amalaka avaleha, Dhatryarista, Agastya haritaki, Dasaula Haritaki, Kamsa haritaki and Kusumadinetravali etc. 
In present day Amalaki is available in different sizes and quantities, even with same plant these vary in sizes. Hybrid fruits are also available in markets. Therefore the mystery behind the accepted number system creates the controversies by virtue of its conversion to weight measure.
For example if various sizes of 500 Amalaki are taken, its approximate weight may stands in between 2.5 kg to 25 kg. This variation marks the potency of Kwatha dravyas, Madhura dravyas and Prakshepa dravyas or to ratio of the other constituents because they remain same as the formula....
