pot, put it into the furnace of a potter. Take it out after its getting cooled. On taking out the whole thing from the pot (jar), crush it, put it again into phukana (blowing apparatus), bind (seal up) its mouth hard, pour cold water into the jar. Put phukana into that. If it is kept for 2 or 3 ghaḍis, there will become water of sal-ammoniac. Pour it into a plate of china clay (Chinese plate) from that phūkanā, keep it in the shade for 1 or 2 days. It will become papadi (parpați).
Keep that papaḍi in one place. There becomes esssence. Melt zinc and put sal-ammoniac into it little by little. At the time of filtering put again sal-ammoniac valal 1 into zinc. There will be silver.
71. Mix mercury pai 2 and oxide of arsenic ta. 1. Next put whole thing into an iron pan and go on putting little by little the juice of Aloe vera-5 srs. with a spoon by taking out 5 srs. of it (first). Next take cow's urine, put it little by little into that. When it gets burnt up (heated), wash it (the mixture) with water, then make a cup of gajavela iron, grind or crush alum ta 1 and orpiment ta 1 into it, spread them over and under, give a layer of cloth and clay (over the cup), heat it in fire of wild cow dung cakes for 4 ghaḍis. Mix 1 rati of the essence into 1 tola of tin. It becomes silver.
72. Fill stool of dog into an earthen pot and put the leaves of kathir (a kind of tin) into it in three layers by making each leaf-pai. 1. Next give fire to it, when it (stool) gets burnt up, blow up ashes (out of it) and take out that tin; crush it together with orpiment pai-1, 1 bhar, oxide of arsenic pai. 1, segiu vacanaga (Aconitum ferox or a kind of poison)-paisā 1 and borax pai. 1 bhar in 2 srs. of milk of calotropis gigantea; next crush them in 2 srs. of Milk's Hedge. Then put the whole thing into a flat (glass) bottle and seal it up by giving a lid (into its mouth). Next give it fire. Then fill sand into an earthen jar and put the kupi (casket or glass bottle) in the middle, close the jar and give fire to it for 11 praharas. Mix 1 rati of the essence with copper ta. 5. (There will be silver or gold.)
73. Melt zinc 10 times in an iron cup and put it into oil. That is, the process of purification of zinc. Melting tin (Kathir), put it into a pot of open mouth; crush small pieces of bark or sapling (choḍia) of mango, filter it with a piece of cloth and spread hot rang (a kind of metal) over it and stir it up with a wooden piece of Butea monosperma. Thus when. rang becomes ash take it out, put it into a spoon and heat it, next give it fire. Rang becomes lively (sajiva), put it into oil. Thus there becomes an accomplishement of the essence. Take both the things (zinc and essence of kathir-räng)-masa 1 of each; then purify 1 tola of copper. Whatever
