________________ 80 10. Vṛntāka Mūṣā Make a crucible of the shape of a brinjal and put a tube of 12 fingers into its stomach (belly). It should be high like the flower of datura, well firmed and fitted. One hole should be made on the side of caude bhag (breadth part) of the crucible, having the length of 8 fingers; medicine is put through this hole and again the hole is closed. It is called Vṛṇtākamūṣā, It is useful in extracting the essence of soft things like calomel (Kharpara, etc).1 11. Gostanimūṣā: This crucible is of the shape of udder of a cow and its lid (cover) is sikhāyukta (large) from bottom and thin at the top. This crucible is used in melting the essence and purification. 2 12. Malla Mūṣā: Make two cups (Malla) of clay. Put medicine into one and cover it with the other and put a layer of cloth and clay over it. Then heat it on fire. This type of crucible made thus is called Malla Mūsa. It is useful for the svedana of rasas (medicines) like parpati etc.3 13. Pakvamūṣā: Make crucible equal to the (shape of) the pot of a potter and cook (heat) it in the furnace of the potter. This type of crucible is called Pakvamūṣā. It is useful in the cooking of the rasas (medicines) like potali etc.1 14. Golamūṣā: Make two round nirvakra sakore (pots) like that of mallamūṣa, Fill medicines fit for giving roasting into one and make a Samputa by joining in the two. This Samputa (lid) is just round and mouthless. It is called golamuṣa. This crucible purifies the immediate things." 1.
