Ābharana, Ratna and Upala such as Rājatopala, Indranīlaprastra sakalar or silver stones and bits of sapphire stones are the expressions employed to denote ornaments, gems and stones-all the three representing the various species of decorative material, which were employed in the preparation of ornaments for ears, neck, crest, waist, chest, breasts, ankles, hands (wrists) etc. Galvarka' or the Agnipāşāņa was a fire-stone i.e. a stone which emitted out heat or fire under certain pressure or contact. Sūryopala or Süryakāntāsma, was the Sun-stone while Indumani or Candrakānta Maņi was the moonstone gem. Both these have been categorised within the fold of gems and stones.
Vaikakşaka strap or garland worn crosswise over the chest and passing over the one of the shoulders and under the two armpits has been mentioned as an ornament worn by the Vaimānika. Zone-girdle as an ornament for women worn on the waist has been referred to. It was also worn by men as is apparent from its mention in the context of the Vaimānika, whose girdlestring was studded with bits of topaz and sapphire-gems. Mekhalā, Kāñci and Rasanā (or Rašanā) are the terms employed to denote it. The sylvandames could prepare these out of the guñjā berries strung into a thread.
