(4) *Añjali* (V. 4. 102). In such phrases as ‘purchased for two or three *añjalis*’ (*dvy-añjali*, *try-añjali*) *añjali* is a definite measure. According to Charaka 16 *suvarṇas* make one *añjali*, which was also called *kuḍava*. Kauṭilya makes *kuḍava* as the basis of calculating higher weights, *e.g.* four *kuḍavas=* one *prastha*, and four *prasthas*=one *āḍhaka* (*Arth.*, Vol. II.19). This is the same scale as in Charaka.
