The record states that 1 1/4 urakku of paddy could procure the same quantity of salt. The ratio of paddy to rice being 5 : 2, and the latter being procurable at 30 seers a rupee, salt must have been sold at about 75 seers per rupee. The relative ratio of the prices of these two commodities is the same today. In Akbar's time, however, a pound of salt was, when measured in terms of food grains, 2 1/4 times dearer.
