Perfected mercury with mica powder (ghana-churna, in the verse) is joined with gold, which the commentary calls gold bhasma; by the processes the verse calls samvasana and atyasana, and the commentary asthapana and anuvasana, it becomes steady in fire. The text says a man who eats this swooned (sammurcchita) nectar quickly gains imperishable vigour, freedom from disease and great strength; the commentary adds firmness of the body.
