This method can be used in the preparation of Swarna Vanga, Makaradwaja etc. The method of Shodana involves the use of Damaru Yantra for its process and by following this procedure it prevents the presence of Pashanadi Doshas, avoids adherence of Milk/ Ghee as mentioned in other procedures of Shodana.
