आकर उद्गतं सीस अन्वयेन भिद्यमानं पाक पत्त्राणि कृत्वा गण्डिकासु कुट्टयेत्, कदली वज्र कन्द कल्के वा निषेचयेत् ॥

Mine gold which is brittle owing to its contamination with lead shall be heated wound round with cloth (pákapatráni kritvá); and hammered on a wooden anvil. Or it may be drenched in the mixture made of mushroom and vajrakhanda (Antiquorum).
