The process makes • mercury fixed. It is done by Soni Devāji. (15) Reduce to paste mercury in Momordica Charantia (Kārli) for three ith the butt of green Neem wood (Melia Azadirachta). Close it up by giving Haravası (a kind of plant ?) and Naravası (a kind of plant ?) under and over it. Give it fire for 2 praharas. (There will be) black silver. (16) Make pills of orpiment 1, sulphur 1, realgar 1, thuthu (a kind of poison); golden pyrite 1, cinnabar 1 and light green vitriol with honey. The essence will assimilate silver of equal portions. It becomes equal to gold. Its carat increases. (17) Take sal-ammoniac tā; 3, alum tā. 3, thuthu tā. 3, red chalk tā. 3, Khadi (white chalk ?) tā. 3, Multāni māti tā. 3 and pohara 2 of brick tā. 3, all in equal portion. Make a thorn-piercing leaf of gold of 8 carats, smear or dip it with or in rasin (mercury ?), spread out the powder of these things. Next give a layer of wax and cloth over sarāvasamputa (by putting the whole thing into sarāvasampuța) in a Vālukāyantra and heat it for 1 prahara, there increases the carat. (18) Boil and keep $ part of the whole thing-five parts (root, stem, branch (or flowers), leaf and fruit). of Peristrophe bicaliculata (Kākajamghā). Rub the seed of Alangium lamakrii (Amkoli); smear it in a new plate. Put that plate high up in the sunshine of Vaisakh-Jyestha. Oil (will come out of it), apply that, it acts. (19) Rub the powder of seeds of datura in the essence (decoction) of uttarāyana (a kind of vanaspati pergularia extensa); keep it into two plates. Put it in the sunshine, oil comes out of it. Like this oil of cotton-seeds, oil of the seeds of Achyranthus aspera, and oil of Horse radish, if taken out, come out. If you dip the aforesaid thing in the essence of Achyran thus aspera and rub and smear into the plate and put it in the sunshine, oil , comes out. By this method make juice of the five parts of Aloe Vera, dip the powder of seeds of Jamalagotā (a kind of plant) into it by making its powder and rub it, oil comes out. Putting (laying out the leaf of guța into a bottle, place sulphur over it, place it layer by layer. Take the essence like cuyā, take artha (the thing).
