A Kāsu i. e., 15 grains of gold or about Re. 1 and 10 as., could fetch one Kuruṇi and four Nāris i. e., 9 lbs., of cardamom seeds. The rate was thus about 5 1/3 lbs. a rupee. The present rate in northen India e. g., at Benares is 12 as. a lb. The commodity was thus only about four times cheaper than today; it was thus relatively dearer. - [Previous: c22.163](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.163) - [Next: c22.165](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.165) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.164](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c22.164) · Pramāṇa
