Panch Valkala 3) Discussion 4) Summary & conclusion CONCEPTUAL STUDY To obtain an absolute knowledge of the subject and to view the opinions of Acharyas in this perspective, conceptual study was with the phrases like; Ayurvedic concept of Rasa, modern aspect of taste, review of Mishrakadi Gana, Taste Threshold Of Dravyas Selected From Mishrakadi Gana Review on Rasa: Review comprises etymology, definition, characteristics of Rasa and its number, evolution and Panchamahabhautikatva, Rasa formation according to season, difference with Anurasa, characteristics, Rasopalabdhi (Mechanism of taste according to Ayurveda), classification, properties with its intensity, relation with Guna-Veerya-Vipaka, relation with Dosha-Desha, Rasa as Ahara and Aushadha, and general classification of Rasa are described under Ayurvedic view of Rasa. In the context of Dravyaguna, Rasa is an important quality manifested by substances (compound substances) which makes a gustatory appeal. Rasa is mentioned as one among the seven Padarthas. According to all texts of Brihatrayee the genesis of different Rasa are same and the composition of Mahabhutas in each Rasa is also stated in a similar manner. Properties of Katu Rasa are Ruksha, Ushna, Tikshna and Laghu; these Gunas are due to Vayu and Agni Mahabhoota which are the basic constituents of Katu Rasa.Modern review on taste: Modern review comprises with primary sensations of taste, anatomy and physiology of taste, taste buds and taste papillae, taste transduction, and piquance perceptions correlated with Katu Rasa. Total six numbers of the Rasas have been mentioned in the classical text of Ayurveda, but modern science accept only five as basic tastes, spiciness and astringency are chemesthesis, so not accepted as tastes by modern pharmacology. Umami is qualitatively different from sour, salty, sweet, or bitter and some physiologists consider it to be a separate, fifth category of primary taste stimuli. Latest research methods have been developed to measure the pungency of chilli pepper and which is measured by souville units. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY Determination of taste: In the experimentation, Rasa of Dravyas selected from Misrakadi Gana were reassessed with the help of volunteers by using classical method. Taste threshold of b plants were also determined by using dilution method. CONCLUSION Ayurvedic classical texts have reported 6 tastes such as Madhura, Amla, Lavana, Katu, Tikta, Kashaya. whereas modern science does not accept Katu (pungent) and Kashaya Astrigent) as taste, but considered as chemesthesis. Though they have increased number of tastes as five by including Umami taste.

The common means of regeneration and propagation of medicinal plants include seed-based, clonal and micropropagation method. Seed-based multiplication is the most effective, realistic and convenient means for most species. Destructive and non-sustainable collection methods coupled with low regeneration and habitat destruction have posed serious threats to the survival and availability of ASHOKA AND GAMBHARI. ASHOKA in traditional medicine and in ayurveda is used to treat rakta pradara. Gambhari is a tridosh shamaka and it is an important constituent of dashmoola and mainly of bruhat panchmoola. The species is generally propagated by seeds but its germination rate and viability is very low due to seed abortion which limits its natural propagation. the seed set is poor and seed viability is low. Problems related with natural propagation and indiscriminate exploitation for medicinal purpose have pushed ASHOKA AND GAMBHARI to the list of endangered plant species of india. These various seed priming processes have been carefully designed in Vrikshayurveda to allow early germination, to obtain good quality of seedlings by following the classical techniques explained. Hence the present study is intended to compare the effects of Vrikshayurveda and Modern cultivation techniques on germination of ASHOKA AND GAMBHARI. Aims and Objectives: 1. To compare the effect of vrikshayurveda and modern techniques on germinations of ASHOKA (Saraca asoca) 2. To compare the effect of vrikshayurveda and modern techniques on germinations of Gambhari (Gmelina arborea) Seeds. Methodology: Following are the Groups: Group 1 (Control group) was without any seed treatment, Group 2 i.e. standard treatment was treated with 1% conc H2SO4 for about 50 minutes, Group 3 procedure explained in Vrikshayurved was followed i.e. sprinkled with Milk and dried for 5 days. It is then smoked with Mustard (Brassica campestris) and Vidanga (Emblica ribes Burm), group 4 seeds were soaked in milk Milk, rubbed with cow dung, dried and profusely smeared with Honey and Vidanga (Emblica ribes Burm). Germinability, emerging index and relative seed germination will be calculated. Results were calculated statistically considering ANNOVA test and unpaired t-test. Results: Overall results indicates that Group 4 treatment i.e. seeds were soaked in milk Milk, rubbed with cow dung, dried and profusely smeared with Honey and Vidanga (Emblica ribes Burm) showed maximum germination percentage compared to all other groups. And it is statistically significant in comparison with group 3 and group 4. Conclusion: Maximum germination percentage was observed in group 4. Estimation of ASHOKA AND GAMBHARI contents in the seeds from the plants grown by various treated seeds reveled that, group 4 is qualitatively better than standard and has the added advantage of safety over the standard (Acid treated) group. Present study revalidates the germination behavior of dormant seeds of ASHOKA AND GAMBHARI. However further studies need to be carried to standardize the treatment procedures in terms of the proportion, duration of soaking or fumigation to get better results. Other methods suggested in vrikshayurveda also need to be studied.

ACCORDING TO NAKASHATRA PATEL, DIPAL INTRODUCTION: The importance of Nakshatra and its effect on the body was very well understood and recognized by the ancient Indian scholars. The science of collection and use of medicinal plants at particular Nakshatra was a rich heritage of we Indians but it is on a verge of extinctions. Study on the behavior of the plant and their effect on the human body is the need of the hour. Moreover, when the world is looking at Ayurveda for better answers. Mandukparni (Centellaasiatica Linn.) is one of the best and commonly available herbs used as intellect promotors, memory enhancer and can cultivate with less efforts. Hence, the present study was taken up to collect the four sample in different Nakshatra and pharmacognostically compare it with A.P.I. METHODS: The plant materials were collected in four different Nakshatra -Bharani, Rohini, Mrigsirsha and Pushya. All the four sample of Mandukparni were subjected to Pharmacognostic evaluation which included Macroscopic and organoleptic evaluation, Microscopic evaluation, Physicochemical evaluation, Phytochemical evaluation and High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) as per standard method. OBERVATION AND RESULT: In the present study, macroscopic, organoleptic and microscopic evaluation of the four samples showed no marked difference. In Physicochemical evaluation, of the four samples showed values within the pharmacopeial limit.Phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrates,alkaloids, tannins,flavonoids,glycosides and steroids in all the samples. Sample3-MG (Mrigsirshanakshatra) showed the highest water soluble and alcohol soluble extractives and in the estimation of HPTLC evaluation sample 4(Pushya) (5/@254nm and 9/@366 nm),showed highest bends have been observed. DISCUSSION: Mandukparni(Centella asiatica Linn.) leaves taken out for the study and collected from the Pushya Nakshatrasample 4-PY (HPTLC) might be more potent and found better and superior result due to presence of more active principle based on the Pharmacognosticand Phytochemical study hence the study suggested CentellaasiaticaLinn. Leaves should be collected in Mrigsirshaand Pushya Nakshatrafor the therapeutic and medicinal use for the better results. Based on the findings the study also proposes that Mrigsirshaand Pushya Nakshatraalso influences the potency of drug. Hence the variation in this study is proves the change in chemical constituent this study also supports the old theories that Nakshatra has effect on plants as mentioned in Ayurvediclexicon. CONCLUSION: After evaluating the four samples in different Nakshatra, it is concluded that though the samples have macroscopic and microscopic similarity, variation exists in the Pushya and Mrigsirsha samples regarding its water soluble and alcohol soluble extractives, Judged from the qualitative and HTPLC study of Mandukparni.The study also supports the concept that the collection of medicinal plant shows variations in their activity depending upon their time of collection i.e. different Nakshatra.

WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE (W.S.R) TO THEIR PHARMACOGNOSTICAL STUDYPHYTOCHEMISTRY Kumar, Sachin Comparative Evaluation Of Seasonal Sample Of Erandamoola (Ricinus Communis Linn) With Special Reference (W.S.R) To Their Pharmacognostical Study-Phyto-Chemistry. Ayurveda has many unique to well maintain health and cure the disease condition like herbs preparations. All medicinal plants from the major natural resources base of the Indian. Dravya Guna sangraha or collection of drug has been given importance in the study of dravya Guna shastra. The Dravya should be collected according to the principal or procedures laid down in Ayurveda. Acharya have been given indication of season, during which they should be collected and specified parts to be selected for medicinal purposes will contain more Virya- potentially or chemical active principles. In Ayurvedic literature, drug collection has been mentioned according to different parts of the plant in respective season. According to Ayurveda and modern science, drugs possess highest potentially during its collection period. The climate, rainfall, temperature, altitude, method of cultivation, duration of day light, collection of wild area, effect of lunar cycle and soil conditions. All affected the efficiency of the drug. METHODS: The plant material were collected from raw drug in three different season. All three samples of Eranda were subjected to pharmacognostic evaluation which included macroscopic and organoleptic evaluation, microscopic evaluation physicochemical evaluation, phytochemical evaluation and High performance thin layer chromatography as per standard methods. OBSERVATION AND RESULT In the present study, macroscopic, organoleptic and microscopic evaluation of the three different samples of Eranda moola showed no marked difference when compared to the samples except sample no 3 is different in colour. In physicochemical elevation, of the three samples, the three samples from different season presence values within the pharmacopeial limit. Phytochemical evaluation exposed the presence of Alkaloid, triterpenoids, tannin and carbohydrates in all three samples. HPTLC and quantitative values are different in all three samples. Discussion: The collection of root in different season is mention in samhita and nighantu. The study revealed similarity in macroscopic except (colour change in sample 3) and microscopic characters of all three samples physicochemical, quantitative and HPTLC evaluation of all samples shown that the sample no3 from the Shishira rtu to be good quality compared to other samples. Conclusion: after study the three samples (different season) comparing to each other the sample no 3 collected in Shishira rutu is found better because of the more extractive values (HPTLC) and low moisture content, high water soluble extractive values, maximum alkaloid and Tannin are also found in sample 3 (Shishira) shows more percentage because of the presence of more active principles.
