Rasaśāstra Cikitsā

The manuscript is written in a vernacular language, apparently Old Nepali with possible Newari influence, and contains procedural instructions for the preparation of substances. The extant text mentions various ingredients, including pippala, amilikā, metallic materials, and powdered substances, and repeatedly employs expressions such as puṭ dinu (“to subject to calcination”) and siddhu huncha (“it becomes perfected”), indicating a process of repeated heating and preparation. These features suggest that the work belongs to the tradition of Rasaśāstra or indigenous pharmaceutical practice concerned with the purification and processing of metals and medicinal compounds. Owing to the vernacular language and the absence of a colophon, the exact title and authorship remain uncertain.
