________________ 121 Lead combined with sulphured orchre, mixed with equal portion of mercury and combined with Andropogon serratus (devadālı) becomes gold . What is the wonder here if red sulphur mixed with the essence of Butea frondosa (Palāša) in Liccaris (gethivana) and cooked with wild lotus converts silver into gold with tripuțas (3 roastings) T . 1 Take 4 parts of gold, four parts of mercury, six parts of āmalsāra sulphur, fix them carefully, (there will be) gold-light and honvey.3 Take equal parts, of mineral calamine and mercury, mix the juice of of Aloe vera (Barbado Aloes) into them. Then add one guñj of copper. 'Take gold by making it with hapiness.* Combine pure copper ţā. 10, and mineral calamine tā. 10, gold ţă. 4 and melt them together in a closed crucible, (There will be gold); do not die of starvation, i.e., the essence becomes yellow pills (gold pieces). Take silver tā 2, pure copper ţā 3 and mineral calamine tā. 5, put them in a closed crucible and melt them with copper without blackness. It becomes gold. This is an art of the intelligent men.? That is, first melt them in a closed crucible, next melt them into an open crucible. The whole thing becomes pița joaka (gold pieces). S Equal parts of mercury and Saussurea lappa (kustha) are to be killed like silver and take double (the quantity of) good (pure) orpiment (mixed) with the milk of Calotropis gigantea. They are to be cooked with linseed oil for five days. That oil becomes Satavedhi (piercing hundred percent) in the case of silver, copper and lead (to convert them into gold.) o Pyrités, lead, mercury and sulphur and cinnabar mixed with realgar are to be rubbed together and to be roasted by 50 puțas in fire. In the process of killing lead there comes out silver with 100% piercing. 20 1. ŠRSS., Ch., 1. 41 2. SRSS.. Ch, 1. 42 3. SRSS., Ch. 1. 43 4.- Ibid., Ch. 1. 44 5. Ibid., Ch. 1. 45 6.
