Argentina!
With the FIFA World cup coming up soon many of us would have sleepless nights cheering for our favorite team.
Yes! Me..Argentina fan!
The word of the day is about Argentina.
The word Argentina is derived from the Latin word Argentum meaning Silver.
Those of us who still remember our periodic table in Chemistry would know Argentum is Ag+.
So what is Silver(Argentum) called in Sanskrit?
Silver in Sanskrit is रजतम् (rajatam)
The 1st verse in the Chandrasekhara Ashtakam has a line that goes:
रजतादिश्रृङ्गनिकेतनम् (rajatAdiśrRṅganiketanam)
Which means the One who resides on the mountain of silver (meaning snow capped mountain which has a silvery sheen)
