DHANYAMLA236

Before going into the details of Dhanyamla Kayaseka it is necessary to understandthe term Dhanyamla. A cursory glance itself reveals that the term “Dhanyamla “ isconjugate of two different words vi! "Dhanya# and "Amla# which in conjugation means"fermented cereal# in a $road sense. All the three major classics of Ayurveda at someinstance or other have referred to its use at times singularly or along with other drugs.

%aharshi &haraka 'usruta and (agh$ata have included this either in Amlavarga'anthana kal)ana or in %adya vargha. %aharshi &haraka further mentioned the drugsused for Dhanyamla in *adi sweda and +)anaha.Synonyms: - A )erusal of the ancient te,t of the medicine reveals that a num$er of synonyms have $een attri$uted to Dhanyamla which in most cases refer to a s)ecificattri$ute and when taken collectively gives a clear idea a$out the character and )ro)ertiesof Dhanyamla. *arisimha has in this conte,t very rightly stated that these synonyms toDhanyamla are com)lementary to each other and as such there is no difference $etween"Dhanyamla# and "Kanjhika#. "-una dee)ika# a cele$rated le,icon on medical )lants givesthe following com)ilations of synonyms as attri$uted to Dhanyamla.. Aranala/ "Aranalasya rigathownala gandha" i.e having acrid fast s)reading odour.2. A$hishuta/#shunj a$hishave# i.e made of half cooked cereals.

3. Avanthisoma/ )re)ared out of "soma# found in Avanti Desha.0. Kulmasha/ "Kula samsthyana# i.e having half cooked "masha# or $lack grain.1. Kunala/ ndicative of fermented water.6. 'owveeraka/ 4ound in 'owveera desha.

Among these 'owveerka# and "Avantisoma# are synonyms )ertaining to geogra)hical)re)ondarance or indicative of )lace. A$hishuta Dhanyamla Kunala Kulmasha etc areindicative of the )rocess of fermentation. Aranala s)eeks of its acrid odour.50Properties of Dhanyamla/ 7he known fact that Dhanyamla amla or sour in taste servesas an aid in delving into other )ro)erties of the Ama in the sense that since it is Amla in8asa the associated 9ualities of Amla 8asa as stated in the classics vi! :aghu +shna'nigdha Dee)ana (atanulomana etc. can $e safely attri$uted to it. 7he )ro)erties of
