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.

I). - [Previous: v2.c34.259](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.259) - [Next: v2.c34.261](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.261) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34) ## Cites (3) - [Vaiṣṇava Dharmaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.visnu) — Viṣṇu, Sanskrit - [Mānava Dharmaśāstra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.manu) — Manu & Bhṛgu, Sanskrit - [Yājñavalkyasmṛti](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.yajnavalkya) — Yājñavalkya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.260](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.ray-1902.v2.c34.260) · Pramāṇa
