Source: Wisdom Library: Rasa-śāstra

Rajata (रज�, “Silver�) is the name for a variation of ‘metal� (ٳ/loha) from the sub-group named Śuddhaloha, according to the 鲹śܻ첹: a 13th century Sanskrit book on Indian alchemy, or, Rasaśāstra. It is also known by the synonym Raupya.

Silver has 3 variations on its own:

  1. khanija (‘mineral�, obtained from digging mines),
  2. sahaja (‘natural�, produced or obtained from the peaks of hills),
  3. ṛt (‘artificial�, obtained from mercurial transformation)
: Indian Journal of History of Science: Rasaprakāśa-sudhākara, chapter 4-5

Raupya (or, Rajata):—The ancient scholars have described the three varieties of silver, viz,

  1. khanija (mineral),
  2. sahaja (natural)
  3. and ṛt (artificial).

That which become sujjvala (brighter or whiter) on heating on fire is considered as śܻ-silver. Kaladhauta is its synonym. It is considered best and may be used for all purposes and it may perform all the (actions) of silver.

The bhasma of Śuddha-rajata (silver) may be used internally mixed with madhu and ghee. It is known to cure eye diseases, ṣaⲹ-Dz, pittaja-roga, and chest diseases, ṇḍ-Dz, udara-roga and the diseases caused due to prokopa of all the doṣas and also in arūci (unrelishness)

Rajata (Silver), another noble metal like gold, also attracted the attention of the ancient Acharyas. The use of silver in therapeutics dates back to the period of Charaka and his contempories. Though, its therapeutic applications are not as extensive as other metals like Tamra or Loha, the ancient classics reveal that silver also enjoyed an important place in Ayurveda therapeutics. Various useful formulations of �Rajata� are: Balya, Rasayana, Medhya, Ayushya, Ojo Vardhaka, Vayah sthapaka etc. The normal dosage range given for �Rajata Bhasma� is 30 mg. to 120 mg.

Classics of alchemy say s that, samples of Rajata which are clear, lustrous (Swachha), heavy (Guru), and with metallic sheen (Snigdham), and which also become bright white on heating or cutting (Dahe Chede Samaprabham), without any ridges or furrows (Sphota rahitam), is genuine, and can be considered acceptable for therapeutic purposes.

If the liṅga is made of clay it shall be installed duly�.

[...] With the clusters of clouds dark, silvery (Ჹٲ) and red in colour clinging to the Mandara mountain (peak), Himālaya appears as the ocean of milk with the birds of diverse colours�.
