Svarṇaparpaṭī (स्वर्णपर्पटी) refers to a type of Parpati medicine, according to the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 3, grahaṇī: chronic diarrhoea).—Accordingly, “four tolas of mercury, one tola of incinerated gold, and five tolas of sulphur are to be rubbed together to form a kajjali or black powder. This is next to be transformed into a parpati in the same way as rasa-parpati. This medicine cures grahani, phthisis in early stage, colic, etc.”.
