Gutschow (1996); G. Toffin (1996). 56 This guṭikā (pill) makes one invisible, cures diseases, turns mercury into gold and copper into silver. 57 Six rasas of chapter four (jaganmohanarasa, ṣaṇmukharasa, sārvabhaumarasa, navagraha-rasa, viśvambhararasa, and brahmāstrarasa) are also found in a Ratnākarauṣadhayoga (according to the Rasayogasāgara).
