JĪRAKA or CUMIN. One Nāri of paddy fetched 1/16 S'evidu of Cumin. The ratio of prices between these two articles works as out 40 : 1/16 i. e., 43 : 1. Cumin was thus about 17 times costlier than rice. It must, therefore, have been sold at about two seers a rupee. At present it is only 12 times costlier than rice.
