In shape it resembles the palm tree of this land, straight and tall, reaching at its highest eighty to ninety feet. Its flowers resemble yellow millet grains. Someone says: A single \*tāla\* tree is seven \*rèn\* high—seven feet being a \*rèn\*—thus the tree is forty-nine feet tall. The \*Records of the Western Regions\* says: 'Not far north of the kingdom of Konkanapura in South India, there is a \*tāla\* forest extending over thirty leagues. Its leaves are long and broad, lustrous in color; all kingdoms collect and employ them for writing.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.134](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.134) - [Next: 3.136](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.136) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.135) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.135](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.135) · Pramāṇa
