Works of Maharishi Nagarjuna:

​

1. "Rasaratnakara" (text):

Nagarjun's unique treatise is "Rasaratnakar", in which he discusses in detail, acids, metals, and chemical processes.

​

Some verses from Nagarjun's book and their meanings:

Verse:

​

यथा कुंजरप्रस्तारे सौवर्चं विद्युतो यथा।

तथा रसायनादौ तु सिद्धिः कार्या यथाविधि॥

​

Meaning:

“Just as electricity is produced from a spot of water on an elephant's forehead, or as light is produced from a crystal, similarly, success in chemical processes must be achieved methodically.”

​

This verse uses similes (metaphors) to convey the idea that success in chemical processes is achieved through careful and proper procedures, similar to the manifestation of electricity or light.

 

Verse:

​

सर्वं द्रव्यं यथा दोषैः संस्कार्यं रसरूपता।

तथा तत्त्वे स्वकर्माणि संस्कुर्वीतादौ पुरुषः॥

​

Meaning:

“Just as all substances are purified by removing impurities, similarly, one must purify oneself to purify one's actions.”

​

This verse draws an equation between the process of purification of substances in chemistry and the improvement of their functions in life, highlighting the importance of purification of the soul and taking into account the greatness of inner purification in the prejudice of spiritual and alchemical goals.

 

2. Contribution to modern chemistry:
