(21) Leaves of koraṇṭaka Barleria cristata, dead mica, and sulfur in equal amounts; (22) soak all this for a week in the sun with the juice of nīlikā Indigofera tinctoria. (23) Drink that paste with milk to destroy death and old age. (24) One karṣa of dead mica, one pala of cow's milk; (25) grind with the leaves of sarpākṣī Ophioxylon serpentinum and sulfur. (26) Drink this after making it into a paste to conquer old age within a year. (27) He becomes a diamond-bodied sky-farer and lives for three days of Brahmā. (28) Dead mica, kānta iron, triphalā, and long pepper in equal parts; (29) add five-part jujube powder equal to the mica. (30) Consume half a pala always with sugar, honey, and clarified butter. (31) It destroys death and old age within a year; life is for a day of Brahmā. (32) "O nectar-play, Vishnu-armor, hail!" All mica formulas should be empowered with this mantra before consumption.
