Khaṅgaratna (खङ्गरत्न) or simply Khaṅga refers to the “rhinoceros jewel” and represents the sixth of the “seven jewels of universal monarchs” (saptaratna) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 85). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., khaṅga-ratna). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
