Part 2 - Purification of anjana

First process.

All the anjanas are purified, if subjected to bhavana with the juice of bhringaraja. Rasanjana alone is also purified, if subjected to bhavana with the juice of suryavarta, etc.^[1]

Second process.

Rasanjana is dissolved with a very hot water, filtered through a piece of cloth, and dried in the sun. Thus purified, it cures diseases, otherwise not.

Third process.

All the anjanas are purified, if they are powdered, subjected to bhavana with lime juice, and dried for one day in the sun. The following are also purified in the same way:—gairika, kasisa, tankana, varatika (cowri shells), shankha, tubari, and kankustha.

Extraction of essence from anjanas.

Essence of anjanas is to be extracted in the same way as that of manas-shila. The essence of srotonjana may also be obtained in the same way as of rajavarta.
