Význam

The kauḍi is like an American cent or Japanese yen. In the old medium of exchange, the first unit of currency was a small conchshell called a kauḍi. Four kauḍis made one gaṇḍā, twenty gaṇḍās made one paṇa, and sixteen paṇas made one kāhana. Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka owed the government 200,000 kāhanas. The King absolved him of this debt, reappointed him to his post and doubled his salary.

Kauḍi je jako americký cent nebo japonský jen. V dávných dobách byla nejnižší jednotkou měny lasturka zvaná kauḍi. Čtyři kauḍi tvořily jednu gaṇḍu, dvacet gaṇḍ jednu paṇu a šestnáct paṇ jednu kāhanu. Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka dlužil vládě 200 000 kāhan. Král mu tento dluh odpustil, dosadil ho zpátky do jeho postavení a zdvojnásobil mu plat.
