Part 2 - How rasaka may be made to stand fire

First process.

Rasaka can be made to stand fire, if it is rubbed with the essence of earth-worm or with the liquid expressed from it.

Second process.

Kharpara is to be broken into pieces like gram, and kept inside a blade of kanya split up into two, immersed in ass’s urine, and boiled until the urine evaporates altogether. This process is to be continued for three days, after which the blade is to be replaced by a new one, which is also to be boiled in the same way for 3 days. This process is to be performed thrice. This is how kharpara is enabled to stand fire without much difficulty. If the kharpara still emits smoke when placed on fire, it is again to be boiled in the aforesaid way as long as necessary. The kharpara is next to be boiled in a solution of kshari salt for 2 days which will result in its incineration. It is again to be put to the test of being placed on fire. If it still emits smoke, it is again to be boiled in the fore-going manner, then subjected to bhavana for seven times with the liquid expressed from earth worms, and heated by puta after each act of bhavana.
