ABSTRACT
The procedures of Ashta Samskara of Parada have Phalashruti which may appear contrary in their sequential order like for example; Murchhana is done to make Parada attain Murchhavastha intentionally and immediately the next one is Utthapana, done to recover from the Vyapatti caused by Murchhana. From the texts, we get to know that the probable reasoning for all these could be to imbibe qualities like Sthirata, Achanchalatva, Pakshachinnatva etc. in Parada as the final aim of Ashta Samskara. To confirm if the above acquired qualities are Sthayi in Parada the sequence has to be continued and checked until established. So, to practically observe and understand these steps, after attempting Swedana, Mardana, Moorchana, Utthapana, Trividha Patana Samskara, the next three Rodhana/Bodhana, Niyamana and Deepana Samskara were taken up and this article explains the detailed attempts of the same.
