Source: History of Science in South Asia: Making Gems in Indian Alchemical LiteratureSarji (सर्जि) refers to “(powdered) Natron” which is used in the recipe of Matsyakajjala (“fish black”), 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 Matsyakajjala: “Rub lac with four times its amount of water; take 4,8 litres of this liquid, filtered through a cloth, and boil it in an earthen vessel on low heat, until a fourth of it remains. Add 48 g each of powdered Natron (sarji), Borax, and Lodhra. Heat it a bit. Then, once it has cooled down, pour it into a glass bottle. Cook the skin of a fat fish for a day and night with this water. When it has thickened, remove it. This is known as ‘fish black’”.

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.
