[edit] Correcting navaratna from 'Having nine gems' to just 'nine gems'

The term navaratna can be split into nava-ratna, with nava meaning nine and ratna meaning gem. Thus it just means nine gems rather than 'Having nine gems'. When it is used along with another word ie: navaratna mala, the meaning is nine gem(ed) garland. The 'having' is implied because of the context and is not present in the original word.
