The vajra rasayana, made with the vajra drugs, is taken mixed with ghee steadily for six months; each day, once it is digested, food mixed with ghee and milk is eaten together with other good medicines. The text says the man then has a body as firm as vajra and the strength of youthful pride, and lives thousands of years, proud even among the vidyadharas (sky-goers).

Questions and answers
How are the vajras processed in the vajra kalpa before they are taken?
They are burnt red hot in a bellows fire, quenched in water of patala and arjuna wood ash, washed seven times with very hot horse-gram decoction, put into milk and powdered; the powder is licked with ghee and sugar.
