Study question (generated from the text)

One pala of ghee, two pala of mercury and four pala of milk are cooked in an iron vessel on a mild husk fire until the milk is consumed and only ghee remains.

Detailed answer

The text says it becomes like nectar, worthy of worship even by the gods. Just before it, a ghee of bound mercury with triphala-water ghee and two haritaki, drunk daily, is said to make a man as strong as a rutting elephant, and one pala of gold bhasma mixed into that ghee may be used as nasya.
