रजत (rajatá) stem

  1. white, bright white, silver-colored (also applied to हिरण्य (hiraṇya) to denote silver the metal, literally meaning "white gold")
    • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 8.25.22:
      ऋज्रमुक्षण्यायने रजतं हरयाणे ।
      रथं युक्तमसनाम सुषामणि ॥
      ṛjramukṣaṇyāyane rajataṃ harayāṇe.
      rathaṃ yuktamasanāma suṣāmaṇi.
      From Uksanyayana a bay, from Harayana a silvery white steed,
      And from Susaman we obtained a hamessed car.
    • c. 1200 BCE – 800 BCE, Kṛṣṇa-Yajurveda (Taittirīya Saṃhitā) I.5.1:
      यद् अश्र्व् अशीयत तत्
      रजतꣳ हिरण्यम् अभवत् तस्माद् रजतꣳ हिरण्यम् अदक्षिण्यम् अश्रुजꣳ हि
      yad aśrv aśīyata tat
      rajataṃ hiraṇyam abhavat tasmād rajataṃ hiraṇyam adakṣiṇyam aśrujaṃ hi
      The tear that was shed (while crying) became white gold (silver); therefore white gold (silver) is not a suitable gift, for it is born of tears
  2. silvery, made of silver
