Vaikranta is incinerated, if it is heated by puta as many times as necessary, after having been heated each time in tne ordinary way and immersed in the urine of horse.

Fourth process.

Vaikranta is to be heated and immersed at once in the urine of horse. This process is to be performed for 21 times. The stone is then to be kept inside a lump made of the five different parts (viz. root, leaves, bark, flower, and fruit) of an indra-varuni plant. The lump is then to be confined within a crucible and heated. The stone is next to be kept again inside a lump made in the same way as stated above, put into a crucible, and heated as before. The process of heating in crucibles is to be repeated as many times as are found necessary for the incineration of vaikranta.
