The Institutes of Akbar 59.2.7

59.2.7

A bundle of 11,000 leaves was formerly called Lahásah, which name is now given to a bundle of 14,000. Bundles of 200 are called Dholí; a lahásah is made up of dholís. In winter they turn and arrange the leaves after four or five days; in summer every day. From 5 to 25 leaves, and sometimes more, are placed above each other, and adorned in various ways. They also put some betelnut and kat'h on one leaf, and some chalk paste on another, and roll them up: this is called a bérah. Some put camphor and musk into it, and tie both leaves with a silk thread. Others put single leaves on plates, and use them thus. They are also prepared as a dish.
