How Akshi (Netra) Tarpana is Done

Netra tarpana IS carried out in the forenoon or in the afternoon on an auspicious day after the food (taken by the patient) has been digested and after the head and the whole body of the patient have been treated with purification measures properly.

Patient is made to lay supine position in a good lighted, ventilated room free from dust & smoke. Than the eyes are encircled with firm, compact leak free paste made of black gram.

The patient is asked to close the eyes and over the closed eyes, ghrita processed with appropriate drugs and liquefied in lukewarm water should be poured to the orbit, till the level of tip of eyelashes. Patient is asked to open & close the eye intermittently & steadily.

After retaining of ghrita for a stipulated period, the ghrita is drained out through a hole made at the bottom of dough wall, near the outer canthus of the eye and the eye is irrigated with lukewarm water fomentation.

The kapha which has already been stimulated by the potency of ghrita, should be eliminated by shirovirechan (nasya), and fumigation (dhoompana) with the kapha-suppresive drugs.

Patient is instructed to keep away from exposure to bright lights, wind, sky, mirrors and luminous bodies.
