This passage reads like a Siddhar’s “concealed recipe,” where ordinary botanical names sit beside deliberately opaque identifiers (vīra-rasa, liṅga, sāmban, prāṇi). On one level it is practical: preparing a compound by cutting, equal-measuring, thorough mixing, solar drying, and timed maturation (sixteen days). On another level, the operations mirror Siddha transformation doctrine: - “Settling/clearing” hints at a stage of stabilization—both in medicine (clarification of a decoction/paste) and in inner practice (mind and breath becoming steady). - “Liṅga” can indicate a formed pellet/marking-core of a substance (or the generative principle itself), implying a concentrated seed of potency. - “Making it prāṇi” suggests ‘animating’ or ‘activating’ the preparation—language that can refer to an infused vitality (prāṇa) rather than mere mixing. - Drying in “ravi” (the sun) is not only dehydration but solar “cooking” (tāpa/tapas), a classic alchemical move where heat and time ripen a medicine. - The sixteen-day interval can be read plainly as a curing period, and also symbolically as a half-lunar cycle—an encoded timing principle used in Siddha and tantric-alchemical traditions. Thus the verse can function simultaneously as (1) a literal pharmacological protocol and (2) an allegory of inner ripening: equalization of forces, activation of life-energy, and maturation under the ‘sun’ of disciplined heat.
