Sankrit rátna (99)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, the word rátna refers to “a gift, present, goods, wealth, riches; a jewel, gem, treasure, precious stone (the nine jewels are Pearl, Ruby, Topaz, Diamond, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Coral, Sapphire, and Gomeda); a magnet, loadstone; water.” It is related to the Sanskrit root rā, meaning “to grant, give, bestow, impart, yield, surrender.” However, it derives from the Tamil root ar, embodying its luminous connotation, as it evolves through the transformation of ar > rátna. The following words, related to Sanskrit rátna, also originate from the Tamil root ar.
