Water is the cradle of life.1 It is explained first because of its importance in Dravadravyadi vignaneeyam Adhyayam. It is considered to be shreshta Anupana because of its Sarva rasa yonitvaat, Sarvabhuta satmyatvaat, Jeevanadi gana yoga.2 It is the yoni for all Dravyas. It is shresta for Ashwasana, Stambhana and Kledana.3 As per Bhairavokta Anandakandah, Ushapaana acts as Rasayana, one of the unique concepts to be known and understood. “Usha” means ‘dawn’ or just before sunrise. “Paana” means to drink. Therefore, “Ushapaana” means to drink water early in the morning before sunrise or during ‘Brahmi Muhurta.’ During Medival period, a number of books were written, describing several aspects of Rasashashtra. Ananda Kandah is also one such important text written in 13th century. Ananda kanda means “Roots of Bliss.”4. This text was supposed to be written by Manthana Bhairava.
