I found this article while researching medhya rasayanas and the classical texts cited here are much more thorough than what I usually find online. The detail about the ghee preparation process from Ashtanga Hridayam is particularly useful. Does anyone know if there are English translations of those specific formulations, or are most reliable versions still in Sanskrit or regional languages?
