鲹ٲԲ (रत्नना�) refers to �(lotus) stalks studded with gems�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Śiva said to Sitā:—“[...] O my beloved, beautiful woman, clouds will not reach the place where I have to make an abode for you. [...] It [viz., the Himālayas] shines with ramparts of crystals, gold and silver. It is lustrous with the lakes—Mānasa and others. It abounds in buds and full-blown lotuses with golden stalks studded with gems (󾱰ṇmⲹ-ٲԲ). Crocodiles, sharks and tortoises abound in the lakes�.
