It deals chiefly with mineral preparations and is a mere compilation from Rasárnava, Rasamaṅgala, Ratnákara, Rasámrita and Rasaratnasamuchchaya; the numerous citations with which it is replete are of some use in correcting many doubtful readings in these latter. Our MS. is incomplete, the first few couplets and the sequel being lost; for the opening lines of the work see Aufrecht’s Catalogue of the Bodleian Library, MSS., pt. I., p. 321. - [Previous: v2.c32.t1.84](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.84) - [Next: v2.c32.t1.86](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.86) - [Up: v2.c32.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1) ## Cites (3) - [Rasaratnasamuccaya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.rasa.samuccaya.pramukha.rasaratnasamuccaya) — Vāgbhaṭa (alchemist), Sanskrit - [Rasārṇava](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.rasa.siddha.rasarnava) — Sanskrit - [Ratnākara](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.paripriccha.ratnakara) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.85](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c32.t1.85) · Pramāṇa
