In the White Yajurveda we find, however, mention of six metals. It tells of *ayas* (gold), *hiranya* (silver), *loha* (copper), *shyāma* (iron), *sisa* (lead) and *trapu* (tin). The Atharvaveda, on the other hand, names gold as *harita* (yellow), silver as *rajata* (white), and copper as *lohita* (red).
