v2.c34.260

We now come to conventional measures. One gold Máshá was the weight of 5 Krishnalas of gold, 1 Suvarna or Tolá weighed as much as 16 Máshás, and one Pala as much as 4 Suvarnas or Tolás. A Pala of gold therefore weighs 320 Krishnalas (Manu, Chap. VIII, Vishnu, Chap. IV, and Yájñavalkya, Chap. I).
