The measures for silver were the following :— 1 Silver Máshá = 2 Krishnalas, 1 Dharana = 16 Silver Máshás, and 1 Pala = 10 Dharanas. A Pala of silver would therefore weigh 320 Krishnalas. In other words, the Pala was a fixed measure of weight, and was equal to about 420 grains Troy, or double this, if we take the Krishnala of current practice.
