==Method of preparation==
Raja and Kṣoda are the synonyms for cūrṇa. cūrṇas may be of plant origin, or mixed with other ingredients. The following points are to be noted. If metals / minerals are used, prepare bhasma or sindura of the minerals unless otherwise mentioned. In cases where pārada and gandhaka are mentioned, prepare [[Kajjalī ]] and add other drugs, one by one, according to the formula. In general the aromatic drugs like Hiṇgū [Asafoetida] etc. should be fried before they are converted to fine powders.<ref name="AYURVEDIC PHARMACOPOEIA OF INDIA"/>
