Bhaktivedanta Purport

By Śrīla Prabhupāda

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī gives the following śāstric reference concerning the bhāra: caturbhir vrīhibhir guñjāṁguñjāḥ pañca paṇaṁ paṇānaṣṭau dharaṇam aṣṭau cakarṣaṁ tāṁś caturaḥ palamtulāṁ pala-śataṁ prāhurbhāraḥ syād viṁśatis tulāḥ “Four rice grains are called one guñjā; five guñjās, one paṇa; eight paṇas, one karṣa; four karṣas, one pala; and one hundred palas, one tulā. Twenty tulās make up one bhāra.” Since there are about 3,700 grains of rice in an ounce, the Syamantaka jewel was producing approximately 170 pounds of gold every day.
