Here, when the transmutation speed-enhancement process has been performed, however many gadyāṇas of red-ṣoṭa there are, twice that amount of pure realgar gadyāṇas, made into the form of an extremely fine powder, half the powder having been placed in the middle of a large glass bottle, then the red-ṣoṭa having been introduced, and above, the remainder of the realgar powder having been placed below; having placed the powder below in the middle of the bottle, then the red-ṣoṭa having been introduced, and above, having smeared the remainder of the realgar powder below; having placed a plug of mica at the mouth of the bottle, and having applied cloth-clay around that bottle seven times, the bottle having been placed in the middle of a pit dug to human measure filled with wild cow-dung cakes, a violent fire is to be kindled. 1.209-214:1
And if, when kindled, it becomes cool on its own, then that mercury is to be taken from the middle of the bottle. 1.209-214:2
This is called killing. 1.209-214:3
Here is the traditional instruction: 1.209-214:4
Having placed cow-dung cakes up to half the pit, the bottle is placed on top; then at the sides and equally on top, the pit is filled with cow-dung cakes. 1.209-214:5
Thus ends the fourteenth refinement process, killing, of speed-enhanced mercury. 1.209-214:6
