In the evening, having consumed (the elixir) and having calmed the mind, one should lie down on a bed of kusa grass, covered with a black deerskin. Feeling thirsty, one may drink a little cold water or a medicinal alkaline substance. Then, upon rising in the morning, with a calm mind and having performed auspicious rituals, one should touch a cow. After that, as a result of an aged (old) soma, there may arise a vomiting, and from that, the mixture of blood and worms is expelled. Then, after this vomiting, one should distribute the cold milk obtained from the cooling process, and on the third day, the mixture with worms should be discarded, and one should be freed from all impurities, achieving a pure body. After this, in the evening, after bathing, one should again distribute the milk as before, and on the bed covered with linen, one should lie down. Following this, on the fourth day, he may experience a headache, and worms may leave from all over the body, and on that day, covered with dust, one should lie down. Then, in the evening, as before, one should distribute milk, and thus it should continue for the fifth and sixth days, during which the milk should be given at both times. Then, on the seventh day, one becomes emaciated and devoid of flesh, only breathing due to the soma intake. On that day, with warm and soothing milk, one should bathe the body smeared with sesame oil and sandalwood paste. After that, on the eighth day, in the morning, after drinking milk that has been mixed with sandalwood and bathed, one should rise from the dusty bed and lie on the bed covered with linen. Then, the flesh will develop, the skin will shed, and the nails and hair will fall out. From the ninth day onwards, anointing with oil and soma decoction begins; then, on the tenth day, one should distribute the same, and the skin begins to regain its strength. Thus, this practice should continue from the eleventh to the twelfth day; after the thirteenth day, the soma decoction should be continued. Thus, on the seventeenth to eighteenth days, nails grow, shining like precious stones, remaining firm and resilient. Thereafter, the individual should consume milk with rice flour, and the nails will turn to the color of rubies, shining brightly, firm, and having characteristics. Hair will become fine, shining like blue lotus or medicinal flowers. One should, from the month, take care of the hair, applying milk or bathing them with a mixture of cold, black sesame paste. After that, the hair will grow in seven nights, curly, shining like a bumblebee. After three nights, after remaining outside for a while, he should re-enter, and after that, with the oil prepared for anointing, rice flour for exfoliation, warm milk for cleansing, herbal decoction for anointing, the mixed juices for preparation, and the milk with honey for black sesame oil, the procedure should be continued for ten nights. After another ten nights, on the second occasion, this should be performed for the third occasion while remaining still for the additional ten nights. Then, on the next ten nights, one should not look at his own reflection in the water due to vanity. After another ten nights, one should remove anger and other afflictions, thereby fulfilling all requirements. Especially, the soma (elixir) derived from the vine should be consumed by Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas. For these, the measurement is half a quarter of a handful.
