विवेचन-आधुनिक इकाइयो मे इनका मान लगभग निम्न प्रकार है(१) गुंजा (चिरमी या रत्ती) = ०.१२ ग्राम = ० ६ कैरेट (२) काकणी = ०.१५ ग्राम = ०.७५ कैरेट (३) निष्याव = ० २० ग्राम = १ कैरेट (४) कर्ममाषक = ०.६० ग्राम = ३ कैरेट (५) मण्डलक = ७.२० ग्राम = ३६ कैरेट
(६) सुवर्ण = ९ ६० ग्राम = ४८ कैरेट (E) PRATIMAAN PRAMANA
328. (Q.) What is this Pratimaan pramana (precision weight measure)?
(Ans.) That which is used to measure precious things (like gold) is called Pratimaan pramana (precision weight measure). The examples being—(1) Gunja (chirmı or rattı; seed of a shrub Abru precatorius), (2) Kakanı, (3) Nushpava (a specific pulse called Rajmash), (4) Karmamashak, (5) Mandalak, and (6) Suvarna etc.
Five gunjas or four kakanis or three nishpavas make one karmamashak. Thus one karmamashak is made up of four kakanis. Twelve karmamashaks make one mandalak. Sixteen karmamashaks make one suvarna (gold coin).
Elaboration-Approximate equivalents of these weights in modern unitsare
(1) Gunja (chirmi or rattı) = 0 12 gms. = 0 6 carats (2) Kakani = 0 15 gms. = 0 75 carats (3) Nushpava = 0 20 gms. = 1 carat (4) Karmamashak = 0.60 gms. = 3 carats (5) Mandalak = 7.20 gms. = 36 carats (6) Suvarna = 960 gms. = 48 carats ३२९. एतेणं पडिमाणप्पमाणेणं किं पओयणं ?
