Abstract: 

Jarana is an intermediate process in between Shodhana and Marana which is usually done before Marana of metals like Vanga, Naga, Yashada etc. as these have low melting points. Although the origination of term Jarana is only recent, in the ancient Rasa granthas the method of Jarana was termed as Marana, in this study after Samanya and Vishista shodhana of Vanga jarana of Vanga is done by using Apamarga panchanga as per reference of Rasamrita. The Jarita vanga was then Prakshalita to obtain Kshara rahit jarita vanga bhasma. The organoleptic character of the Jarita Vanga Bhasma was then studied, after which the elemental assay of the Jarita vanga bhasma was done and the changes in the elemental constituents were compared and studied with the elemental constituents of Shuddha Vanga & Asuddha Vanga, the loss in % of Vanga by weight & elemental percent was observed in order to understand the changes at elemental level in the Vanga after Shodhana, & Jarana.
