GOLD FROM TELIYAKAND

TELIYAKAND is a very rare herb found in the Himalayas.Today only a few plants of this rare species are said to be there near Manali. Shri Girdhar Kishore Dikshit of Varanasi obtained a text by the name "Swarn Tantram" and the following couplet was given in it.

Tat Pariksha Vighanarth Kande Suchim Praveshyet
Suchidravah Kshnnat Putra Tatkandamtu Samaharet

Dikshitji says that he was able to prepare gold according to the method given in these lines.According to him first pure Samskarised mercury should be obtained. Then this Teliyakand should be triturated with the mercury three times.When the mercury is triturated properly then the fermented juice of the Teliyakand should be added to it and this mixture should be transferred into a crucible.Then the crucible should be heated in a fire of coals.A powder is obtained and when a pinch of this powder is sprinkled on 10 g. mercury ,it is instantly transformed into gold.

This method is authentic and gold can be prepared from it. The text "Swarn Tantram" finds mention in the book "Hindu Chemistry" by Acharya Prafullachandra Ray.
