Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

It is swooned by grinding with old jaggery and killed with wood-apple juice, or quickly with gobandhana, sticky palasha-seed juice, cumin or kuchi seeds; the killed mercury, rubbed with gold, is taken daily in well-boiled milk with jaggery according to the measure of the doshas.

Detailed answer

Afterwards a nasya of woman's milk is given and the body is massaged by women's hands. The text says the mercury then pervades the body, that rubbing with gold gives more vigour and freedom from disease, and that a rasayana regimen is followed daily with it.
