FAQs

What administrative function does this sutra serve?

It extends an already-stated grading rule to additional regional linen varieties, enabling uniform valuation for purchase, storage, and revenue accounting.

Why name regions like Kāśī and Pauṇḍra?

Regional labels function as recognized market categories; the state can benchmark expected quality and price by provenance.
