fire, it extinguishes it (fire) instantly. 14. Even camphor does not fly, thus is its test. The things whose oil is
desired to be taken out are as follows :
15. Sulphur or orpiment or Somala (oxide of arsenic) and others. That is
also only 1 tola (of each). Camphor was thought (considered) before (previosuly).

18. Smear, the copper-leaf with sulphur and heat it on fire and crush it
completely.
19. It becomes of yellow colour instantly, no doubt, smear the silver-leaf

24. Cast orpiment measuring ten tolas into an auspicious (good) copper
pot of three hundred tolas by grinding the thing (orpiment). 22. Fill in there the juice of garlic having one granthi, measuring 250 tolas.
