This is the Tibetan transliteration of the Sanskrit vaiḍūrya, a type of precious stone. While it sometimes refers to lapis lazuli, it has a broader semantic range, such as བཻཌཱུ་རྱ་སེར་པོ and བཻ་ཌཱུ་རྱ་དཀར་པོ་. Thus the translation "beryl" is used by a number of scholars to cover the semantic range of the term, since "beryl" includes varieties ranging in color from pale-green to light-blue, yellow, and white. Monier-Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary (1021.2) defines vaiḍūrya as "a cat's-eye gem." The term "cat's-eye" in English also covers a variety of precious stones such as chalcedonic quartz and chrysoberyl.
