(3) Similar data from other records<119> show that the prices of land were 34, 19, 17 and 11 Kaḷanjus per veli in different localities. These are wide variations in prices; but even today the prices of land vary considerably according to the quality. The land, referred to in paragraph two above, seems to have been of good quality, while the pieces, the prices of which are given here, seem to be very inferior. To sum up, wet fertile land appears to have been sold at 125 Kaḷanjus a Veli when they were tax-free; ordinary lands were about four times cheaper.
