Bogar has very clearly told about the paashanam, its nature, form, capability, types and their uses in the book "Bogar 12000". As this has been told with hidden meaning, the researches has got many difference of opinion among themselves. Identifying the meaning of those which is written in hidden meaning is a kind of art only. I shall try writing about it as a separate post only.
Bogar has classified these paashanams mainly into two categories. They are "Piravip paashanam" and "Vaippup paashanam". The Piravi paashanam are found in nature only. He says that there are 32 types of them under this category. We can find them from the various kinds of minerals, herbs, many other living organisms also in various forms.
Now let us see the list of 32 kinds of paashanams.
