The table on p. 376 would show that 180 nāris are equal to 135 lbs.; 4 Kaḷanjus, \*i. e.\*, Rs. 20 could thus bring 67½ seers of ghee. Ghee was thus sold at 3 to 3½ seers a rupee at the beginning of the 10 century. The ratio of the prices of ghee and rice would thus be about 9 : 1. - [Previous: c22.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.141) - [Next: c22.143](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.143) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.142](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.142) · Pramāṇa
