Abstract: Kajjali is Sagandha, Niragni murchana of Parad. In the middle of all Khalviya Rasayana, Kajjali is enclosing chief importance as it forms the base to several Parad Yoga. Apart from this there is no clear explanation of duration of trituration for Kajjali preparation. In the present work, Samgungandhak Kajjali was prepared, and samples of Kajjali were taken at different intervals of time for analyzing on classical as well as modern parameters viz. XRD and SEM. Kajjali was triturated for 120hrs but the luster of Parad still present in it. With XRD analysis free mercury got reduced to greater extent and also the size of particles gets reduced with hours of trituration and found in nano-particle range by SEM analysis.
