The document discusses three types of indirect heating putas (furnaces) - Bhanda Puta, Valukaputa, and Bhudharaputa. Bhanda Puta uses an earthen pitcher filled with husk as fuel, with the drug material placed inside. Valukaputa uses sand instead of husk, with the drug material placed on heated sand. Bhudharaputa involves placing the drug material filled crucible in a cavity in the ground and filling it with sand up to a specified height, then applying heat via cow dung cakes on the surface of the sand. The document also notes that when no specific puta is mentioned, the hardness or softness of the drug should

In the previous class we already discussed about Direct Heating Agni puta, in todays class following Indirect heating Puta will be elaborated. Bhanda Puta Valukaputa Bhudharaputa 1.भाण्ड पट ु स्थलु भाण्डे तष ु ापि ू ण मध्ये मूषासमन्विते । िन्वहना विहहते पाके तद्भाण्डपुटमुच्यते ॥ ररस १०/६० मुषागभे तष ु ापिु ेस्थल ु े भाण्डेऽन्ननयोजनात ् । दीयते यत्पुटां विज्ञैस्तद् भण्डपुटमुच्यते ॥ 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. २.िालक ु ा पट ु अधस्तादपु ररष्टाच्च क्रौgचचकाऽऽच्छाद्दाते खलु । बालुकाशभिः प्रतप्ताशभयणत्र त¯।लुकापुटम ् ॥ र र स १०/६१
प्रतप्तिालुकागभे वयस्य मूषाहदकां दृढम ् ।
यत ् दीयते पट ु ां तत्तु िालुकापट ु मुच्यते ॥ 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. ३.भध ु र पट ु बन्वहशमत्राां क्षिप्तौ सम्यड् ननखवयाद्द्द्चधयनडुलाद्अधिः । उपररष्टात्पुटां यत्र पुटां तद्भुधराह्ियम ् ॥ र र स १०/६२ भुशमगभे कुमुहदकाां विवयस्य ¯यनडुलोपरर । यद् दीयते पुटां तत्तु पुटां भुधरसांज्ञकम ् ॥ र त ३/४७ Components The crucible or बन्वहशमत्राां(RRS)/ कुमुहदकाां (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.
