Methodology: Curna of Pippali, Maricha Shunti and Nagakesara are prepared, mixed together and stored in an airtight bottle. Analysis of the Pippalyadi yoga was done with following parameters physico-chemical analysis like pH, refractive index, specific gravity, total solids, viscosity and chromatographical analysis like High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC).

Result: Loss on drying value of trikatu curna (TC) is 12.87 % w/w and 10.74%w/w of nagakesara. Ash value of trikatu curna is 5.33% w/w and 11.79 % w/w of nagakesara. Acid insoluble ash value is 0.29 %w/w of TC and 7.93% w/w of nagakesara. Water soluble ash values are 2.89% w/w of TC and 1.01 % w/w of nagakesara. Water soluble extractive values are 14.94 of TC and 4.64% w/w of Nagekesara and alcohol soluble extractive values are 6.07 of TC and 10.90 % w/w of Nagakesara. HPTLC of Trikatu curna: 7 prominent spots with Rf values 0.01, 0.04, 0.10, 0.25, 0.32, 0.50, 0.60 at 254nm and 5 spots with Rf values 0.01, 0.10, 0.36, 0.61, 0.83 at 366 nm. Nagekesara curna: 10 prominent spots with Rf values 0.00, 0.03, 0.17, 0.36, 0.52, 0.59 0.65, 0.72, 0.86, 0.92 at 254nm. 9 spots with Rf values 0.01, 0.04, 0.09, 0.34, 0.46, 0.55, 0.61, 0.68, 0.81 at 366nm.

Conclusion: The analytical data generated here may be considered for the development of standard parameters for the formulation.
