: History of Science in South Asia: Making Gems in Indian Alchemical LiteratureMarakata (啶ぐ啶曕い) refers to 鈥渆meralds鈥� for which alchemical formulas are provided in order to create these gems, according to the 痴腻诲补办丑补峁囜笉补 section of the 搁补蝉补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 (lit. 鈥渏ewel mine of mercury鈥�): a 13th century alchemical work in Sanskrit written by Nityan膩tha.鈥擵erses 1-40 of chapter 19 continues with a series of formulations for creating gems.

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraMarakata (啶ぐ啶曕い, 鈥渆merald鈥�) refers to a type of jewel (ratna), into which the universe was transformed by the Buddha鈥檚 miraculous power (峁沝诲丑颈产补濒补) according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XV).
Note: this pearl is extracted from the beak of the golden-winged Garu岣峚 bird; it is green in color and it counteracts poisons.
Also, 鈥淭hese jewels (eg, marakata) are of three types, Human jewels (尘补苍耻峁补-谤补迟苍补), Divine jewels (divya-ratna) and Bodhisattva jewels (bodhisattva-ratna). These various jewels remove the poverty (诲腻谤颈诲谤测补) and the suffering (诲耻岣丑补) of beings鈥�.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Economic Life In Ancient India (as depicted in Jain canonical literature)Marakata (啶ぐ啶曕い) refers to 鈥渆merald鈥�, and is the name of a type of precious stone (gem or jewel) typically used in ancient India. Both the king (谤腻箩补苍) and the people used to keep previous stones as a part of their wealth and affluence. The king鈥檚 mansion was studded with precious stones of various kinds. The rich people possessed them in large quantity and used them in ornaments and for other purposes. The courtesans (驳补峁噄测补) possessed costly jewels and their chambers were adorned with precious jewels. The palanquins of the kings, nobles and rich persons (艣谤别峁ａ弓丑颈苍蝉) were inlaid with costly gems.
There were persons expert in the field of gem and jewels (e.g., marakata) called 尘补峁噄办腻谤补蝉 (jewellers). There is a reference of 尘补峁噄办腻谤补-艣谤别峁ａ弓丑颈苍 in R膩jag峁沨a who had abundant gems and jewels. Various ornaments of pearls and jewels are mentioned in the texts viz. Ka峁嘺g膩vali (necklace of gold and gems), 谤补测补峁嚹乿补濒颈 (necklace of jewels), 尘耻迟迟腻惫补濒颈 (necklace of pearls), etc. The above description of the various agricultural, agro-based, mining or forestry occupations clearly depicts the high level of perfection achieved in the respective fields.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
