The Alchemical Verses of Roma Rishi

...will become a medicinal ash within the fire-pit—this method is truly glorious upon this earth. (36)

Take those glorious metals, bronze and brass; beat them into thin, light sheets. Heat them until they glow red-hot like a wide basin, then quench them in lime juice citrus juice is used here as an acidic purifying agent to remove surface impurities from the metal to purify them. Then, take the universal Guru original: "Guru"; in Siddha alchemy, this refers to a potent catalyst or "master" substance used to initiate the transmutation or calcination of metals paste and smear it over the purified metal sheets. When you place this in a crucible and subject it to the Kukkuta original: "kukkuta-putam"; a traditional heating method where the crucible is buried in a pit filled with a specific amount of cow-dung cakes, sized to produce the heat required for a cockerel-sized vessel fire-pit, observe the wondrous quality of this "Guru-water" ash.

Take one Panam a traditional unit of weight, approximately 488 milligrams of the famed Guru catalyst and smear it on both sides of the mica. Encase it in a protective "armor" paste made of white Kunrimani Rosary Pea (Abrus precatorius), specifically the white-seeded variety and Velai likely Cleome Gynandra, a medicinal herb. When you fire it in the Kukkuta pit, recognize this as a potent, heavy medicinal ash. (38) The manuscript repeats the number 38 for this stanza
