 Three doshas of Parada
• Naisargika dosha( natural Impurities)
• Yougika dosha/ vyaparika dosha(
Artificial impurities)
• Kanchuka dosha/oupadika
dosha(Covering /chemical impurities)

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 6

 Naisargika dosha
• It means doshas those which comes
from natural sources. Parada is a
khanija. It is found in sahaja,
swatantra, mukta and mishrita form.
Parada have swabhavika guna ie.
Mixes with other khanijas in
bhugarbha, this is called naisargika
dosha.
• There are three in no-
3.Visha
4.Vanhi

 Yougika dosha
• Yougika doshas are those which have
been mixed in mercury from out side
the mines by the traders for
commercial point of veiw. They
commonly use lead & tin. They use
this to increase weight of parada.
• These are two in no
3.Naga
4.Vanga

 Kanchuka dosha
• What is kanchuka means?
- Covering or outer layer.
- Acc to literature -pÉÉåÌaÉlÉÈ
MülcÉÑMü ÌuɹÈ
There is covering on snake skin.
This is called as kanchuka. Ancient
authors observed these and given
kanchuka name to doshas which are
externally occurs on parada. These
are seven parpati,patini….etc
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 9
• Kanchuka dosha means these form a
covering on parada like a layer.
These doshas comes in mercury
either from bhumi(earth),
giri(mountain), or from the metallic
ores which are found associated with
mines. The lead & tin ores are
commonest to form kanchuka like
impurities in parada.

• As per RPS, copper & iron ores are

also contribute such impurities

• So mercury posseses 12 doshas
which either come from nature,
mixed artificially or produced due to
some chemical reactions taking place
either inside earth or outside
atmosphere. These impurities likely
to produce some toxic effects or
diseases in body-

 Opinion of diff authors
• Number of kanchuka doshas are 7
• All authors accepted it, but there is
difference in naming.
• In some texts like RPS, two doshas
are added ie, Shulbaja (copper) &
Ayas (iron) apart from naga & vanga.
• Acc to Anandakanda &
Rasakamadhenu indicates diff
colours like Rakta, Pingala, Kapota,
Shyama etc.
• These colours indicates diff films of
oxidation forms on surface of

 Modern view
 Why these doshas form layer
externally??

• Specific gravity of Parada is 13.59. It

is 14 times more than water and
other dhatus. Hence the impurities
which are mixes with Parad they
floats only external layer.
• Due to oxidation of diff dhatus it
forms diff layaers of various shape,
nature, colour etc.
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 19
 Contd…
• Kanchuka doshas of Parada are the
result of chemical reaction taking
place in between mercury & other
associated metallic ores inside or
outside the earth.
• Even trace element present in
mercury are sufficient to produce
chemical reaction.
• Hence it is seen that if mercury is
kept open for some time in
atmosphere a thin blackish layer
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 20
 Contd…
• Acc to Chemistry of H.E.Roscoe &
Scholemmer-
• Impure mercury when shaken with air
yields a black powder caused by the
oxidation of the metallic impurities
and the film of oxide incloses a small
globule of the liquid metal.

 Discussion

• 1) Why these doshas are only 7 in

number or it consider as a
Saptakanchuka
• 2) In R.R.S. text there is explation
about Bhumija,Girija,Varija,2 Nagaja
& 2 Vangaja like 7 doshas. But it is
unclear that why again R.R.S.
different 7 kanchukas hav been
described ?
