Vajra kalpa

Vajras are of many kinds (vajra, vajraloha, vajrabandha fruit, vajrakapala, vajra stone). Whichever can be had are burnt in the strong fire of a bellows, quenched while red in water made with the ash of patala and arjuna wood, washed seven times with very hot horse-gram decoction, put into milk, powdered and licked with ghee and sugar in a suitable measure, with the diet and dwelling described before; the text says a man thereby conquers the well-known diseases. Footnotes say the quenching steps are each done seven times and discuss the word abhisheka.
