The teacher of Grammar was paid double that salary, 120 \*kalams\* of paddy and 10 \*kāsus\* of gold (equal in value to 35 \*kalams\* of paddy). But even this salary was only half of that paid at the other college to the teacher of Grammar. A menial in Temple service got a salary of sixty \*kalams\* of paddy with two \*kāsus\* of gold in the year. Thus teachers' salaries were not the same in all institutions. - [Previous: c19.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.mookerji-1947.c19.22) - [Next: c19.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.mookerji-1947.c19.24) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.mookerji-1947.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.mookerji-1947.c19.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.mookerji-1947.c19.23) · Pramāṇa
