Background: After Vamana and Virechana, Agni (digestive fire) gets diminished. It is restored by the administration of Samsarjana Krama in which the food preparations are fed gradually starting from Peya, Vilepi, Akrita Yusha with Odana, Krita Yusha with Odana, Akrita Mamsarasa with Odana, and Krita Mamsarasa with Odana in Peyadi Samsarjana Krama.In Tarpanadi Krama, instead of Peya- Svacha Tarpana (light) and instead of Vilepi- Ghana Tarpana (thick) are advised. This is followed by Yusha-Akrita and Krita and Mamsarasa – Akrita and Krita. Aims and Objectives: To analyse the nutritional values of food preparations mentioned in Samsarjana Krama and to know the reason for the specific sequence mentioned in Samsarjana Krama on the basis of its nutritional importance. Methods: The raw materials used for the preparation of Peyadi and Tarpanadi Samsarjana Krama were procured, verified and prepared according to Classical Ayurvedic Texts. These preparations were further subjected to different tests for the estimation of Moisture, Carbohydrates, Protein, Fat, Fibers and Ash. Results: Based on the values obtained, it is found that the sequence in Peyadi and Tarpanadi Samsarjana Krama were also based on its nutritional importance. Conclusion: The sequential administration of food preparations of Peyadi and Tarpanadi Samsarjana Krama helped in gradual increase of Carbohydrates, Protein and Fats in the human body which substantiates the reason for particular sequence mentioned by our Acharya’s.
