rūpyaṃ vipākamadhuraṃ tuvarāmlasāraṃ śītaṃ saraṃ paramalekhanakaṃ ca rucyam /
snigdhaṃ ca vātakaphajijjaṭharāgnidīpi balyapradaṃ sthiravayaskaraṇaṃ ca vṛṣyam //

Silver is sweet in post-digestive taste, having an astringent and sour essence, cooling, laxative, exceedingly scraping, and appetizing;
it is unctuous, pacifies wind and phlegm, kindles the gastric fire, imparts strength, makes one’s youth firm, and is aphrodisiac.
