    The document discusses the Vidyadhara Yantra, an ancient instrument used to extract mercury (Hg) from mercury sulfide (HgS). It has a very scientific design, using principles of collecting, condensing and evaporating. Precautions for its use include maintaining a strong fire, keeping the water in the upper pot cold, ensuring proper joining of parts, and monitoring the temperature. The document suggests some modifications could be made to address practical problems, such as replacing the chaturmukha chullika (four-faced burner) with a gas burner, while keeping the original concept and principles.
