c9.149

No. 24 (ibid., Part II, p. 121), records two deposits of money, the first of which is made with ‘the great citizens of the great market Tribhuvanamahādevī in Tanjore’ who had to supply as interest cardamom seeds and *campaka* buds, and the second with a guild of villagers for supplying *khaskhas* roots. These three kinds of drugs were used for scenting the bathing-water of the temple-gods. The rate of interest is the usual rate stated in the previous records.
