The mudrā (seal) is to be placed over it (jar). Give fire to it for 14 praharas, on its getting cooled down, take it out. Thus is Bhasma-pāradavidhi.4
Cast Wax (Bābā Shāhi) 40 into an iron pan, put oil 1 sr. and water 5 srs., give fire under it. As soon as wax settles down at the bottom of the pan, take it out. Remove the dirt struck up over the wax. Thus do it for 4 days. Next combine together wax tā 25, magnetic stone tā 25, milk of Banyan tree țā 25, Betula utilis (bhojapatra) țā 25, linseed oil țā 25, old iron tā 25, pure Katho (a kind of lime) mixed with Khadir tā 25 and crush (or gộind) them till they become ripe (well-mixed). This is the process of wax?
Combine all these together-milk of Banyan tree pai 2, milk of Calotropis gigantea pai 2, wax pai 2, Kapūrī guļa (a kind of molasses) pai 2, Bhaira gugula (Indian Bdellium) pai 2, white Kātho (a kind of (lime) mixed with Khadir. pai 2, Kalicūno (à kind of lime made of oyster shell) pai 2, Mākhapişta (a kind of mineral) pai 2, Mastaki (Pistacia lientiscus) pai 2, hair of small calf of she-sheep (ewe) pai 2, Multāni māți (earth or soil of Multan) pai 2, magnetic stone pai 2, and crush them into small pieces and bind them into the milk of Bhedala (sheep). Grind them for 10 days. As it becomes hard, so go on giving milk of she-sheep. Menamudrā (seal of wax) is accomplished. 3
· Grind all these-vermillion pai 1, wax pai 1, grains of iron pai 2, magnetic stone pai 54, Katho-pai 1, Makhapişța (a kind of mineral) (Mākha's, powder) pai 1, lime pai 1, lac pai 1, natron pai 1, and filter them with a piece of cloth. Rub them with the juice of Anacardium. Then there becomes an accomplishment (of its making).
Again pour wax 1 șr. into Samudravāri (Sea water ?) by melting and melting it (wax). do it (repeat it) 125 times,' or in case of Madanamudrā, pour it (wax) into the oil of Anacardium. 1. Idid. Ch. V. 45. 2. SRSS., Ch. V. 45 3. SRSS. Ch. X. 25 4. Ibid., XIT. 2-5 5. Ibid, 6. Ibid. 13
