The term Kalpa refers to the internal administration of any drug by gradual increase of the dosage for a specified period. Here in this manuscript the drug Vijaya is prescribed in the form of Kalpa for a period of 12 months which begins with 1 Tanka in the 1st month and should increase 1 Tanka on every month, so that it reaches 12 Tanka in the 12th month.

By changing different Anupana, Vijaya is useful for providing body strength, improves eye sight, acts as antitoxic and improves color, complexion and also acts as aphrodisiac etc. We hope that this will be helpful for researchers to revalidate the efficacy of Vijaya in future.

Preface We are very happy to announce that the Manuscript Vijaya Kalpa', which was edited and translated by us, is taken up by Literary Research Team of Vishwa Ayurveda Parishad as its first publication. We are highly thankful to Prof. Yogesh Chandra Mishra 1. Prof. Mahesh Vyas, Prof. Ravi Rao and all other team members of Literary.

Research Committee for inspiring and encouraging us at every stage through a series of virtual meetings. While searching for manuscripts in the internet, all of a sudden we have found out this manuscript in the archives.org and downloaded and taken the printout. We were very much thrilled by going through the manuscript as it contains only one folio. Keeping 'Sucikatäha Nyaya' in view, instead of taking up a bigger project, it is better to start with a smaller one. After having a thorough discussion among our faculty, a collective decision has taken that this should be completed at the earliest and then announced the same in the VAP Literary Research Committee meeting. They readily accepted our proposal of publication and sent it for press.

On this happiest occasion, our team has unanimously decided to dedicate this book to Shri Yogesh Chandra Mishra Ji, because he is the man who is always behind us for guiding, who is striving for the development of the system of Ayurveda, who is also trying to explore the abilities of the teachers, researchers, authors, clinicians, entrepreneurs and social reformers of the entire country and who is very friendly to everyone and he is like 'Bhisma Pitamaha' for Ayurveda Jagat. We are very happy to inform that he has accepted this small book to dedicate to him.
