• A. Para Ojas – 8 Bindu; Apara Ojas – 1/2 Anjali
• B. 10 Bindu; 1 Anjali
• C. 5 Bindu; 1/2 Pala
• D. Both are equal

Hint:

Remember "8 drops for life" (Para Ojas) and "Half a palm for health" (Apara Ojas). Para Ojas is qualitative/vital, while Apara Ojas is quantitative/circulating.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the Ojas classification.
Classical texts describe two forms of Ojas, Para Ojas and Apara Ojas, each with its own quantity
Step 2: Recall the measure for Para Ojas.
Para Ojas is described as being 8 Bindu in quantity, located in the heart
Step 3: Recall the measure for Apara Ojas.
Apara Ojas, which circulates through the body, is described as half an Anjali
\[ \boxed{Para Ojas: 8 Bindu; Apara Ojas: 1/2 Anjali} \]
