Additional Points

• Samadharana dritaanam is normally interpreted as samapramaana sthhapitaanami.e all the ingredients taken in equal quantity. Sarvangasundara teeka of Ashtangahridaya gives one more explanation which mentions dharana as a term of measurement which equals 1/10^th of 1 pala (धरण शब्देन पलस्य दशमो भाग उच्यते)
• Bhaishajyaratnavali explains Hinguashtaka choorna in Agnimandya chikitsa and is advised in conditions to increase Jataragni (digestive fire) and to treat Vatarogas.

त्रिकटुकमजमोदा सैन्धवं जीरकं द्वे समधरणधृतानामष्टमो हिङ्गुभागः।

प्रथमकवलभुक्तं सर्पिषा चूर्णमेतज्जनयति जठराग्निं वातरोगांश्च हन्ति ।।

(Bhaishajya Ratnavali 10/59)

• According to Vidyotini teeka of Bhaishajyaratnavali; Ajamoda is to be taken as Yamanika/Yavani/Ajwain whenever used for internal administration and as Ajamoda for external applications. Similar reference can be found in Paribhasha Pradeepa also which states

अन्त: परिमार्जने ज्ञेया ह्यजमोदा यमानिका

बहि: सम्मार्जने चैव विज्ञातव्या अजमोदिका

(Paribhaasha Pradeepa 1^st Khanda)
