=== Abstract ===
The Rasayana chapter deals with one of the most important specialties of Ashtanga (eight branches) Ayurveda named Rasayana Tantra. Rasayana essentially denotes medicinal nutrition, rejuvenation, longevity, immune-enhancing and geriatric health care. The Rasayanas are not necessarily drugs. They may be in the form of a rasayana food, or a positive healthy life style with a Rasayana effect or a Rasayana drug or all the three together. The Rasayan remedies promote good qualities of the cells and tissues of the body through improved nutrient effect, boosting the digestion, metabolism and/or augmenting the microcirculation and tissue perfusion. This chapter is divided in four padas (parts) dealing with different aspects of rasayana therapy. The four padas are named as:

Introduction
The Ayurvedic classics including Charaka Samhita describe eight specialties of Ayurveda which were in vogue and practiced during the vedic period denoting that Ayurveda was already a highly evolved system of medicine with professional specialization. This is why Ayurveda is called Ashtanga Ayurveda and its eight angas are as mentioned below:
1. Kayachikitsa - Internal medicine
The Ayurvedic classics including [[Charaka Samhita]] describe eight specialties of Ayurveda which were in vogue and practiced during the vedic period denoting that Ayurveda was already a highly evolved system of medicine with professional specialization. This is why Ayurveda is called Ashtanga Ayurveda and its eight angas are as mentioned below:
2. Shalya tantra - Surgery
3. Shalakya tantra - Ophthalmology, Ear Nose Throat
4. Kaumarabhritya - Gynecology. obstetrics and Pediatrics
5. Agada tantra - Toxicology
6. Rasayana - Nutrition, Rejuvenation, Immunology and Geriatrics
7. Vajeekarana - Sexology, Aphrodisiac and Reproduction
8. Bhuta Vidya - Psychiatry and Demonology
The present chapter deals with Rasayana tantra of Ashtanga Ayurveda which has assumed a very high consideration in contemporary times in view of the potential role it could play today with increasing incidence of nutritional disorders, lifestyle related health issues and above all the rapid population aging world over, warranting newer strategies for geriatric health care and healthy aging where modern medicine has not much to offer.
The present chapter deals with Rasayana tantra of Ashtanga Ayurveda which has assumed a very high consideration in contemporary times in view of the potential role it could play today with increasing incidence of nutritional disorders, lifestyle related health issues and above all the rapid population aging world over, warranting newer strategies for geriatric health care and healthy aging where modern medicine has not much to offer.
Rasayana is the means of obtaining the best qualities of body cells and tissues and is able to defeat aging and disease. All rasayanas are ojovardhaka i.e. promoter of ojas or immune strength in the body, imparting vyadhikshamatwa i.e. immunity in the body. The mode of action of rasayana remedies has been deliberated for long. Many scholars consider rasayana effect as the prabhava (specific therapeutic effect) of these remedies without really giving rational interpretation. However, Singh R.H. and Associates (1972) have suggested that the rasayana remedies and measures act at three levels and produce subtle molecular nutrient and immune-enhancing effect with a range of secondary impacts such as improved nutritional status, immune-enhancing, longevity, healthy aging, promotion of health and prevention of disease. The three levels of action are:

The three levels of action are:
1. At the level of rasa acting as a direct nutrient enriching the nutrient value of plasma.
2. At the level of agni acting as digestive and metabolic booster.
3. At the level of srotas acting as srotoprasadan promoting the microcirculation and tissue perfusion. The net effect of all the three levels of action is an improved nutrition.
The division of the Rasayanadhyaya into four padas (parts) reflects an interesting style of classic writing simulating the style of the Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali aiming to emphasize the continuum of the deliberations which could be fragmented in the chapterization style. The tendency of pada style can also be visualized in the Sutrasthana of Caraka Samhita where all the thirty chapters have been systematically clubbed in seven chatushkas i.e. four chapters clubbed in one chatuska containing allied subject matter. Thus, Rasayanadhyaya is of great significance both from literary as well as from the subject matter point of view.

The first part Abhayamalakiya Rasayana pada begins with the path breaking statement about bheshaja-abheshaj i.e. good medicine vs bad medicine. The bad medicines are poisons while the good medicines are of two categories:
The first part Abhayamalakiya Rasayana pada begins with the path breaking statement about bheshaja-abheshaj i.e. good medicine vs bad medicine. The bad medicines are poisons while the good medicines are of two categories 1. Ojovardhaka i.e. heath promoting, 2. Roganut or disease curing. The ojovardhaka remedies again are of two categories namely rasayana and vajeekarana. The chapter further describes the qualities of rasayana and the methods of its use. It specially dwells upon the best rasayana drugs like Amalaki, Abhaya, Chyavanaprasha, Brahma rasayana, Amalaka rasayana, Haritaki yoga etc.
The second part – Pranakamiya rasayana pada deliberates on rasayana prabhava with examples of certain special aushadhi rasayanas like Amalaki Ghrita, Amalakyavaleha, Amalaka churna, Vidangavaleha, Nagabala rasayana, Baladi rasayana, Bhallataka kshira etc.

Therapeutics which promotes strength and immunity is categorised in vrushya (aphrodisiac) and rasayana (promotives), while the therapy of the second category is mostly applied for alleviation of disorders. The word prayaḥ specially denotes only particularity because both the groups perform both the above functions namely, promotion of strength including immunity and alleviation of diseases. (5-6)

Vajikarana (aphrodisiac treatment) is that which produces lineage of progeny, quick sexual stimulation, enables one to perform sexual act with the women uninterruptedly and vigorously like a horse, makes one charming for the women, promotes corpulence and infallible and indestructible semen even in the old persons, renders one great having a number of off-springs like a sacred tree branched profusely and commanding respect and popularity in the society. By this one attains eternality based on filial tradition here and hereafter along with fame, fortune, strength and corpulence. (9-12)

The propounders have described two methods of the administration of rasayana therapy namely 1. kutipraveshika (indoor) and 2. vatatapika (outdoor).
The propounders have described two methods of the administration of rasayana therapy namely:
Firstly, the procedure of indoor treatment will be described. For this a cottage should be built in an auspicious ground, facing eastward or northward and in a locality inhabited by king, physicians and brahmanas, holy saints, is free from dangers, is auspicious and has easy availability of necessary materials. The cottage should have sufficient space and height, three interior chambers one after the other, a small opening, and thick walls and should be comfortable for the seasons, neatly clean and favorable for the treatment. It should be impermeable for undesirable sound etc. (sense objects), free from women, equipped with necessary accessories and attended by physicians with medicines and brāhmaṇas.

Now, in northernly course of the sun, bright fortnight and auspicious date, star, hour and karaṇa, one having clean- shaved, with strong restraint and memory, faith and focused mind, and stressfree state, feeling companionship with all the creatures, having worshipped the gods and brāhmaṇas first and keeping the gods, cow and brāhmaṇas to the right side, one should enter the cottage and be cleansed and thereafter when he feels happy and strong, he should use rasayana treatment. Further I shall talk about the cleansing procedures. (16-24)

The individual scheduled to undergo rasayana treatment, adequately oleated and fomented, should take formulations with hot water consisting of the powders of Haritaki, rock salt, Amlaka, jaggery, Vacha, Vidanga, Haridra, long pepper and dry ginger. When he is evacuated properly by this procedure and has resumed the routine dietetic regimen, he should be given barley preparation added with ghee for three, five or seven days (according to measure of evacuation) till the accumulated faeces are eliminated. Thus, when he is considered as having cleansed properly, the physician should administer the appropriately chosen rasayana (drug) in consideration of his age, constitution and suitability. (25-28)

On using this brāhma rasāyana, already used by great sages, the user becomes disease free, long lived and with great strength. He becomes charming to the world, with all mission fulfilled, having splendour like that of the moon and the sun, acquires and retains the knowledge.

O desirous of vital breath! Listen to me explaining the procedure of rasāyana therapy which is like another nectar, acceptable for the gods, having incomprehensible miraculous effects, prolongs life span, provides health, sustains age, relieves excessive sleep, drowsiness, exertion, exhaustion, lassitude and imaciation, restores tridosika balance, brings stability, alleviates laxity of muscles, kindles internal fire and imparts excellent lustre, complexion and voice. By using this, the great sages like Chyavana and others. regained youthful age and became charming for the women, they also attained firm, even and well divided muscles, compact and stable physique, blossomed strength, complexion and sense, uninterrupted prowess and endurance. All morbidities arise due to domestic food in those eating sour, saline, pungent, alkaline, dried vegetables, meat, sesamum, sesamum paste and preparation of (rice) flour, germinated or fresh, awned or leguminous cereals, incompatible, unsuitable, rough, alkaline and channel blocking substances, decomposed, heavy, putrefied, and staled food items, indulging in irregular diet or eating while the previous food is undigested, day sleep, women and wine, performing irregular and excessive physical exercise causing agitation in the body, affected with fear, anger, grief, greed, confusion and exhaustion. Because of this the muscles get laxed, joints get loosened, blood gets burnt, fat becomes abundant and liquefied, marrow does not mature in bones, semen does not manifest and ojas deteriorates. Thus, the person subdued with malaise, depression, sleep, drowsiness, lassitude, lack of enthusiasm, dyspnoea, incapability in physical and mental activities, loss of memory, intellect and lustre, becomes resort of illness and thus does not enjoy the normal life span. Hence looking to these defects, one should abstain from all the said unwholesome diet and activities so that he becomes fit for using the rasāyana treatment- saying this Lord Punarvasu Ātreya further added.
