Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Murcchana (swooning), marana (killing, making bhasma) and bandhana (binding): swooned mercury destroys many bad diseases, killed mercury brings wealth, grain and enjoyment, and bound (siddha) mercury gives the power of moving through the sky and freedom from ageing and death.
Detailed answer
The text calls mercury rasaraja and says it yields much wealth through processes such as jarana with mica and other metals. These results are the text's traditional statements; it also says that only properly bound mercury is rasayana.
