(-raṃ) A white sublimate or a muriate of mercury, made in close vessels with sulphur, mercury, and common salt; the crystals formed in the first operation are sublimed a second time, which seems to be the only essential difference between this and the preparations called Rasapushpa; ut infra. E. rasa mercury, and karppūra camphor; from its white colour.
