Indian Epigraphical Glossary
Englishpuṭṭi (CITD), Telugu
a measure equal to twenty tūmus
also called khaṇḍi (spelt candy in English and found as khaṇḍikā
in Sanskrit inscriptions) and regarded as equal to between 800
and 1000 seers. Khaṇḍi at Masulipatam has 3 weights, viz.
488 pounds for tobacco, 500 pounds for metals, hardware, etc.,
and 560 pounds for sugar, dates and other soft articles. The
puṭṭi and its fractions also denote the area of the land that is
supposed by some to produce the particular quantities of
grain. According to some, it is a land measure equal to 8
acres being presumably the area which can be sown with a
puṭṭi of grain. There were different kinds of puṭṭis, e. g. gāl-
puṭṭi. Cf. also pelle-puṭṭi regarded as equal to 80 kuñcas and
Malaca-puṭṭi or Malacca ton as equal to 300 to 240 kuñcas.
(EI 4, 27), a land and grain measure.
(IE 8-5), same as Telugu puṭṭi-dosillu, ‘a fee of two hand-
fuls from each puṭṭi of grain paid to the village-servants’.
