Kautilya's Arthashastra 2.25.4

2.25.4

lakṣitam alpaṃ vā caturbhāgam ardhakuḍubaṃ kuḍubam ardhaprasthaṃ prasthaṃ veti jñātaśaucā nirhareyuḥ //

Lest workmen spoil the work in hand, and Aryas violate their decency and virtuous character, and lest firebrands commit indiscreet acts, liquor shall be sold to persons of well known character in such small quantities as one-fourth or half-a-kudumba, one kudumba, half-a-prastha, or one prastha. Those who are well known and of pure character may take liquor out of shop.
