  • Haritaki + Bibhitaki + Amalaki
  • Kayaphala + Khadira + Parushaka
  • Trikatu + Triphala
  • Guduchi + Nimba + Vasa
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall Triphala variants.
Classical texts describe more than one Triphala group depending on the three drugs combined
Step 2: Recall Svalpa Triphala.
Svalpa, or lesser, Triphala is composed of Kayaphala, Khadira and Parushaka rather than the common Haritaki-Bibhitaki-Amalaki trio
Step 3: State the answer.
So Svalpa Triphala consists of Kayaphala, Khadira and Parushaka
\[ \boxed{Kayaphala + Khadira + Parushaka} \]
