c16.s6.72

The Anulia plate shows that an *Āḍhavāpa* was equal to more than 37 *Unmānas* (*Udamānas* or *Udānas*) and, since the *Kākini* was a sub-division of the *Unmāna*, a much higher number of the former would have been regarded as equal to an *Āḍhavāpa*. That the number of *Unmānas* in an *Āḍhavāpa* was even bigger than that suggested by the above inscription is actually known from the Naihati (Sitahati) plate⁴ of Ballālasena (1159-79 A.D.), which speaks of an area measuring 7 *Pāṭakas* 9 *Droṇas* 1 *Āḍhaka* (*Āḍhavāpa*) 40 *Unmānas* and 3 *Kākas*. Whether *Kāka* mentioned here is the same as *Kākini* of the other records or whether the former was a sub-division of the latter cannot be determined; but it is known from the above inscription that more than 40 *Unmānas* made one *Āḍhavāpa*.
