आर्कं पयो हुडुविषाणमषीसमेतं पारावतऽखुशकृता च युतः प्रलेपः । टङ्कस्य तैलमथितस्य ततो अस्य पानं पश्चात्शितस्य न शिलासु भवेद्विघातः ॥ ५४-११६ ॥

From a mixture of the juice of the plant Calotropis gigantea, the black powder of the burnt horn of the ram, the excrement of the turtle dove and of the rat, rub this over the stone cutter’s chistle, stir it in oil and then temper the instrument. It will neither break nor become blunt when worked in stone.
