Edition: Rasārṇavakalpa (Manifold powers of the ocean of rasa); text, edited and translated into English by Mira Roy, in collaboration with B.V. Subbarayappa, Indian National Science Academy, Monograph No. 5, New Delhi 1976. This edition is based on a MS of the Library of the Asiatic Society at Calcutta (described by *Haraprasad Shastri, Descriptive Catalogue of the Sanskrit MSS on Tantra, vol. 8, Calcutta 1940; see on this MS: B.V. Subbarayappa’s Introduction to the edition); the verses dealing with religious and related aspects have, unfortunately, not been edited and translated, but their gist is found in footnotes; the edition is accompanied by an appendix (plant names and their identifications) and a glossary. 203 See the colophon. 204 B.V. Subbarayappa, the author of the Introduction to the edition, calls these parts rasāyanotpatti, rasaprakriyā, and kalpaprabhāga. Mira Roy mentioned, in an article written before the publication of the edition of the text, another division in three parts: 1–5 (on dhātu-, ratna- and rasasiddhi), 56–230 (on a variety of alchemical processes), and 231 to the end (on kalpas) (Mira Roy, 1967: 138). 205 Compare on the contents: S.C. Banerji (1992): 155–160; M. Roy (1967); B.V. Subbarayappa’s Introduction to the edition. 206 See on these methods V. Deshpande (1984). 207 Compare Rudrayāmala: Auṣadhikalpa. 208 M. Roy (1967: 138–139) mentions twenty-eight kalpas; B.V. Subbarayappa counts twenty-nine kalpas. 209 Compare the aparājitākalpa of the Kākaṇḍīśvarakalpatantra. 210 Compare the brahmaṇḍakalpa of the Kākaṇḍīśvarakalpatantra. 211 Compare the aśvagandhākalpas of the Ānandakanda (I.15.265–266ab) and Kākaṇḍīśvarakalpatantra. 212 Compare the musalikalpa of the Ānandakanda (I.15.253cd–257). 213 Compare the jyotiṣmatīkalpa of the Ānandakanda (I.15.266cd–304).
