CATTLE. A record (116) of Rājarāja throws some light on the prices of ewes and cows. A ewe cost about ¼ of a Kāsu i. e., about 6 to 7 as. and a cow ⅔ of a Kāsu, i. e., about Re. 1 and 2 as. The cost of the cow was about three times the cost of an ewe, a conclusion which is further supported by the fact that a perpetual lamp required 32 cows or 96 ewes or 16 she-buffalos. The price of a she-buffalo would thus be about Rs. 2¼.
