**Cost of Student's Boarding.** The College was maintained by an endowment of 45 *Velis* (= about 300 acres) of land. Each student of Veda cost 6 *Nālis* (= ¾ *Karuṇi*) of paddy per day and ½ *kalañju* of gold (= 25 grains = Rs. 2/-) per year, to meet probably the cost of his clothing. A student of the more advanced subjects like Mīmāṁsā, Vedānta, and Vyākaraṇa, was given 66 per cent additional allowance.
