Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Among Panchagnanendriya, Netra is given prime importance as it is concerned with rupa grahana. Vision is important to human survival without which day and night matters nothing to one’s life. Netra is agni mahabuta pradhana and this agni helps in rupa grahana. Further, it is said that intake of pitta prakopaka aahara will increase mala in shira which gets lodged in different parts of netra and cause netra roga. In the context of pathyapatya of netra, it is said that gritha is the best sneha. Also Acharya Sharangdhara mentions that tarpana kriyakalpa gives tarpana to the netra. Though netra is agni mahabuta pradhana it is sheeta saatmya. As gritha and tarpana gives sheetata to netra we can say that these are best suitable to maintain the swastata of the netra. In modern parlance, it is mentioned that intra ocular drug administration is the best way to maintain eyes healthy and to treat eye diseases. With the above given information, in this paper an attempt is made to explain the efficacy of grihta tarpana and its mode of absorption into the netra in maintaining swastha netra.
