- Brief Summary
**Bhagandara**is one of the most common ailments pertaining toano-rectal region. This disease causes discomfort and pain to patient, whichcreates problems in routine work. It is correlated with F**istula-in-ano** andis encountered under **Ashtamahagada**. The importance of this diseasewas first realized by Acharya Sushruta (800-1000 B.C.) thus, hedescribes as:
**तेतà¥à¤à¤—गà¥à¤¦à¤µà¤¸à¥à¤¤à¤¿à¤ªà¥à¤°à¤¦à¥‡à¤¶à¤¦à¤¾à¤°à¤£à¤¾à¤šà¥à¤šà¤à¤—नà¥à¤¦à¤°à¤¾à¤‡à¤¤à¥à¤¯à¥à¤šà¥à¤¯à¤¨à¥à¤¤à¥‡à¥¤**

Thelitral meaning of Bhagandara is Darana , which means splitting up or burstingup.. It clearly indicates that bursting of pakwa pidaka eitherresults into communicating track between Bhaga,Guda & Vasti pradesha withsurrounding(perianal) structures.
As the wound is inanal region which is more prone to infection, thus takes long time to heal andthe condition remains troublesome. Modern operative procedures often lead tocomplications like recurrences and incontinence.
To alleviate such problems in the management ofthis disease, it was thought to find out alternative technique to treat thesecases without operative complications.
Keeping in view of these complications,AcharyraSushruta mentioned ksharasutra application in the management of bhagandara. Asksharasutra has both cutting and healing properties. Acharya Susruthain sutrasthana **ksharapaka vidhi adyaya** 11th chaptermentioned various kshariaya drugs, in which **Palasha** and Arka**are** among them selected for the present study.
**अथानेनैवविधनेनकà¥à¤Ÿà¤œà¤ªà¤²à¤¾à¤¶à¤¾à¤¶à¥à¤µà¤•à¤°à¥à¤£à¤ªà¤¾à¤°à¤¿à¤à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤•à¤¬à¤¿à¤à¥€à¤¤à¤•à¤¾à¤°à¤—à¥à¤µà¤§****…………….**
