Source: History of Science in South Asia: Making Gems in Indian Alchemical LiteratureTulyāṃśa (तुल्यांश) refers to an “equal amount”, 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 Blue Sapphires: “Add an equal amount (tulyāṃśa) of indigo powder to the fish black, and an equal amount of red sandalwood placed in water for a day. Let all that be heated for three hours. Having set it aside, one should store it well. And the “rain-stones” are soaked with it and one should heat it as before. These will undoubtedly become similar to blue sapphire”.
