Primarily an adjective meaning ‘red,’ is used as a neuter substantive to designate a metal, probably ‘ copper,’ but possibly ‘bronze.’ It is mentioned in the Vājasaneyi Samhitā and the Taittīriya Samhitā as distinguished from śyāma. It also occurs several times in the Brāhmaṇas. See Ayas.
In the Chāndogya Upanisad denotes a ‘copper amulet,’ as Bǒhtlingk renders it, rather than a 'lump of gold' as translated by Max Miiller following the scholiast.
