<div style="text-align:justify;">The chapter [[Madanakalpa Adhyaya]] deals with the basic and important concepts about the drugs used for [[vamana]] (therapeutic emesis) and [[virechana]] (therapeutic purgation). Among the emetic drugs, ''Madanaphala'' is the best because it does not produces any adverse effects, therefore the section of [[Kalpa Sthana]] is started from ''Madanaphala'' formulations. Hereafter,a brief definition of [[vamana]] and [[virechana]] therapies, and the mode of action of these drugs has been described. The factors responsible for promoting therapeutic efficacy of these drugs have also been mentioned. Further, three kinds of habitats and the characteristic features of these habitats, suitable time and method for drug collection are given. Subsequent to collecting the drugs (or herbs), storage and formulations of ''Madanaphala'' and specific procedure for administering emetic drugs have been given. Several dosage forms of ''Madanaphala'' viz. – pills, powders, linctus, ''utkarika'', ''vati'', ''modaka'', ''shashkuli'' and in the forms of ''badara'' and ''sashava'' have been discussed. At the end of the chapter, important synonyms of ''Madanaphala'' viz. ''madana'', ''karahata'', ''ratha'', ''pinditaka'', ''phala'' and ''ivasana'' are given.
