Next give a cover of cloth and clay over it with spittle. Then get it dried up and burn (or heat) it in coal (fire) 1 sr. By making cooled down, take it out. There becomes gold.
78. The five processes of making medicinal pills (goṭakā).
(1) Put mercury ta into the mouth of a frog and sew it. Next bring a black snake, put that frog into an earthen jar and close its mouth. Then pour 15 srs. of oil into it and boil it, put the snake into it. When the boiling oil comes down to the point of 5 srs. take out the snake. See it making (cutting) it into pieces. Golaka is accomplished. Take it out. If luck favours (the work gets done successfully). There becomes mouth. If there does not become mouth, there becomes gotika, it is true.
Next keep each piece separately into the fruit of seven leaved (Saptaḍā) datura, press one leaf of datura every day and put the juice into the fruit. Do it thus every day. Keep them by your side by putting them into a bag. While getting juice (every day), there will be mouth into the pieces (of the body of the snake) after six months. Amongst these gutikäs, two kinds of gutika are produced. One is the accomplished gutika of frog, it is called Buḍanta. Its importance (or power) is now stated. A river flows, even then one can cross the flood water, water will get separated to (on) both sides. Thus is the procees of Buḍanta golikā.

Its name is cailed Gaḍamta guțika by which magic (or miracle) is shown to the people As a yogin takes cave, just so one (magician) digs a pit and enters, into it by keeping the gotika with him, and is coverred (spread) over with dust, he sits on the brink (side) of the pit by coming out of it. The people do not see him. The people know that he is inside (the pit). The pit is filled up with dust, the people go to the house. The man himself roams about from country to country with pleasure. After some days he sends letters. The people ask wherefrom he has got out. Thus is the process of one goḍamta gotika. These are the processes of two gotikās.
(80) (3) Now the third is Uḍamta gotaka. Its process is written.
A kite (bird) has made a nest. Take out an egg from there and pierce it with a needle. Put mercury ta 1 1/4 into it, then give a cover over (on) it by filling it up with wax. Next put it into the nest, give incense frankincense to the nest for 2 or 3 days. Ater some days the eggs of the kite become large, then the kids fly away (after hatching). Next take out the egg and keep it in a separate place. Every day, after taking food, give fresh incense, put it in its proper place. By doing thus, a period of 6 months and 6 days is passed, then taking out the egg, pierce it and look into it;
