ਰੇਣਿ ਰਸਾਇਣ ਸਿਝੀਐ ਰੇਤੁ ਹੇਤੁ ਕਰਿ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਵਸੈ ।
ren rasaaein sijheeai ret het kar kanchan vasai |
The dust of sand in which remains gold mixed is kept in a chemical.
ਧੋਇ ਧੋਇ ਕਣੁ ਕਢੀਐ ਰਤੀ ਮਾਸਾ ਤੋਲਾ ਹਸੈ ।
dhoe dhoe kan kadteeai ratee maasaa tolaa hasai |
Then after washing the gold particles are taken out of it which weigh from miligrams to grams and more.
ਪਾਇ ਕੁਠਾਲੀ ਗਾਲੀਐ ਰੈਣੀ ਕਰਿ ਸੁਨਿਆਰਿ ਵਿਗਸੈ ।
paae kutthaalee gaaleeai rainee kar suniaar vigasai |
Then put into the crucible it is melted and to the delight of the goldsmith, is converted into lumps.
ਘੜਿ ਘੜਿ ਪਤ੍ਰ ਪਖਾਲੀਅਨਿ ਲੂਣੀ ਲਾਇ ਜਲਾਇ ਰਹਸੈ ।
gharr gharr patr pakhaaleean loonee laae jalaae rahasai |
He makes leaves out of it and using chemicals washes it happily.
ਬਾਰਹ ਵੰਨੀ ਹੋਇ ਕੈ ਲਗੈ ਲਵੈ ਕਸਉਟੀ ਕਸੈ ।
baarah vanee hoe kai lagai lavai ksauttee kasai |
Then transformed into pure gold it becomes nimble and worthy of the test by touchstone.
ਟਕਸਾਲੈ ਸਿਕਾ ਪਵੈ ਘਣ ਅਹਰਣਿ ਵਿਚਿ ਅਚਲੁ ਸਰਸੈ ।
ttakasaalai sikaa pavai ghan aharan vich achal sarasai |
Now in the mint, it is moulded into a coin and remains happy on the anvil even under the strokes of hammer.
ਸਾਲੁ ਸੁਨਈਆ ਪੋਤੈ ਪਸੈ ।੧੨।
saal suneea potai pasai |12|
Then becoming pure muhar, a gold coin, it gets deposited into treasury i.e.the gold which was in the dust particles because of its humility, ultimately turns out to be a coin of the treasure house.
