kārpāsaparvatas tadvad viṃśadbhārair ihottamaḥ

bhāreṇālpadhano dadyād vittaśāṭhyavivarjitaḥ //

It is best to make the mount of cotton for 100 maunds (20 bhâras), of 50 maunds (10 bhâras) is the next best, of 25 maunds (5 bhâras) is the last best. The devotee, if in straitened circumstances, may make one of 5 maunds (one bhâra) even, without exercising miserliness.—2.
