Source: History of Science in South Asia: Making Gems in Indian Alchemical LiteratureSamīcīna (समीचीन) refers to the “true and wholesome (form)” (of a precious stone), according to the Vādakhaṇḍa section of the Rasaratnākara (lit. “jewel mine of mercury”): a 13th century alchemical work in Sanskrit written by Nityanātha.—Accordingly, while describing the recipe for creating artificial Sapphires: “One should mix evenly ground Indian madder, orpiment, and indigo. All this should be well-stirred with the liquids in the glass bottle. Having soaked the ‘rain-stones’ with this, one should heat it as before. Through this, they all truly become whole (samīcīna) emeralds”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
