[[Kalpana Siddhi]] can be described as a guideline index for all cleansing processes described in various chapters. [[Kalpa Sthana]] deals with the formulations useful especially for ''vamana'' (therapeutic emesis) and ''virechana'' (therapeutic purgation). Thus, after meticulous knowledge of drugs useful for cleansing processes the clinical applicability is described. Hence Charaka named the chapter as [[Kalpana Siddhi]] meaning the excellence or successful application of the formulations described earlier. The chapter is formulated in a manner of answers given to the queries asked by Agnivesha which are actually meant for a brief and sequential description of the subject.
