If vimala is given saturation with the juice of Sahoja (a kind of plant = Horse radish), alum, green vitriol, borax, vajrakanda (vanasūran) and the juice of oxide of mokşakal plantain, and is heated with mokşakakşāra in a closed crucible, then the essence shining like gold comes out of it. This essence is really copper.2
Svarņa-Vimala has been considered best in Svarņa-Karma, tāravimala in rajata-karma, and Kāṁsyavimala in auşadhakarma respectively3. Vimala becomes purified, if it is cooked in the juice of Adūse, Jambiri nibu or that of Meşasșngi (Ailanthusexcelsa, or Adhatoda vasica, Citrus medica or Cymmnema Sylvestre = Dolichondron falcata) for two ghaạis.
Mix sulphur into the powder of vimalā as equal to its part and rub the whole thing in the juice of the fruit of Badahala of lemon and make pill or ball, and heat it in gajapuța fire 10 times, its ash will be ready.
Take the ash of Vimala, borax as equal to the portion of Vimala and the ash of Meşasșnga (Dolichondron falcata) and rub them together,; again smear the inside of the crucible for Sathvapātan with the thing obtained thus. When the smearing gets dried up, close the crucible, heat it with dhauknans by putting it into coal or 6 prasthas, then the essence of Vimala will be obtained as shining like the Moon,5
