Mahārasa and Uparasa, (translated as ‘mercuries’) are two groups of
alchemical mineral agents, according to the Rasaśāstroddhṛti (Sanskrit
alchemical work). These two groups of minerals (or rocks that contain
minerals) are involved in ‘purifying’ and ‘killing’ metals, as well as
eliminating the poisonous components of mercury. Therefore, they are
also called the ‘devourer elements’.
